Today we were asked to examine concept webs, evaluate them, and explain their pros and cons. There were several webs, and after each group had evaluated the web that was given to them, we put them up on the white board under the letter grade that we thought was appropriate for it. Then, we discussed which letter grade each web actually received and why it was given that mark.
Why Did We Do This (Learning
Intentions)?
We did this as preparation for
web-making in the future. It was necessary for us to know what kinds of things
needed to be used to make a good web. An example of a web that was given an A+
was that it had different kinds of diagrams to represent the information, the
pictures were relevant to the information that it was connected to, it was
neatly done and legible, it was color-coded to be able to tell the difference between
the main idea and the details, and words on the connecting lines from one
detail to another helped the reader understand what the next detail meant
instead of having to figure it out themselves. An example of a web that was
given a C+ was that the lines connecting the main idea to the details were
inconsistent and confusing. The lines were multicolored, they varied from squiggly
to zigzag to straight, and they went in all directions making it difficult for
the reader to understand. Another two examples ware having irrelevant pictures
that may go with the general topic of the web but not the detail that it was meant
for, and spreading out the words to make it seem like there is a lot of
information when there actually is not very much.
