Word Mapping    

     Another vocabulary strategy is Word Mapping.  When you use a Word Map, you develop a personal visual organizer that will help you create meaning and increase your understanding.  Take a look at the downloadable/printable example of a word map at:

*helpful hint  synonym=word that has the same meaning

                    antonym=word that has the opposite meaning

For another excellent word map, that gives great instructions, check out:
