LEARNING NEW VOCABULARY: MAKING A WORD MAP

You are going to put into practice the vocabulary learning strategy of using word maps. In this case you are going to group words in the semantic field of CRIME. In your word map you will illustrate the following types of crimes: burglary, bank robbery, mugging, hijacking, murder and piracy (you can include the modern sense of the word too). Apart from these, which appear in the unit, you will also include the following ones: arson, shoplifting, pickpocketing, drug dealing and rape.

 

The online application that you are going to use is mindmeister which allows you to include images, text, notes, links, videos, etc.

 

For each example of type of crime you will have to include:

 

  1. An image which illustrates the word.

  2. The word and its definition (you will use an online monolingual dictionary).

  3. A link to the word definition in the dictionary you have used.

  4. A sentence where you have used the word in context.

 

 

Let´s get started!

Go to mindmeister and after creating your account, follow these steps:

 

For each example of type of crime you will have to include:

 

  1. Type the word CRIME (this is the one that marks the semantic field) in the first bubble.

  2. To start adding a type of crime (that is, a bubble stemming from the main idea), simply click on the + sign on the menu bar. Another way to add a new bubble is to press the “Enter” key.

  3. Double click on the new bubble to start writing a text. You will write the name of the type of crime and the definition you will have found in the dictionary.

  4. While you are in the active bubble, click on the arrow you will find in the right side bar of the menu and add the link to the dictionary entry (an arrow will show in the bubble).

  5. Add an image by clicking on the landscape icon on the right side bar of the menu. Click on “Add an image” and “add an image from the web” (the application will search images related to the word you have written).

  6. Finally, provide an example of a sentence in which you use the new word in an appropriate context. You will do that adding a note. Click on the note icon and write the sentence. The note icon will show in the bubble).

  7. When you have finished all the words, click on "share this map" on the bottom menu bar. Click on "public". Now you can grab the embed code by clicking on "embed map".

  8. Go to your wix site and paste the embed code in the vocabulary artifact section.
