It outlines a four-step pedagogical approach: selecting a key word from a story or study topic, integrating the concept map throughout the reading process, synthesizing bubble content into a clear definition, and comparing it with dictionary definitions. The resource emphasizes connecting new concepts to prior knowledge and fostering indirect vocabulary growth by exploring related terms. By systematically filling out categories such as descriptions, similarities, and examples, educators can simplify complex concepts for students, making the learning experience more accessible and engaging. The method serves as a practical tool for classroom instruction, demonstrating its application with concrete examples like the word 'feast', which helps illustrate how to categorize attributes and real-world instances to build a comprehensive understanding of language.",{"@graph":14,"@context":72},[15,34,55],{"@type":16,"itemListElement":17},"BreadcrumbList",[18,23,27,31],{"item":19,"name":20,"@type":21,"position":22},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",1,{"item":24,"name":25,"@type":21,"position":26},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":28,"name":29,"@type":21,"position":30},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/exam/","Exam",3,{"item":32,"name":10,"@type":21,"position":33},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/directions-for-vocabulary-word-concept-map/414382/",4,{"url":32,"name":10,"@type":35,"image":36,"author":41,"headline":10,"publisher":44,"fileFormat":47,"inLanguage":8,"description":12,"dateModified":48,"datePublished":49,"encodingFormat":47,"isAccessibleForFree":50,"interactionStatistic":51},"DigitalDocument",{"url":37,"@type":38,"width":39,"height":40},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/directions-for-vocabulary-word-concept-map/414382.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":42,"@type":43},"Oliver","Person",{"url":19,"name":45,"@type":46},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-29","2026-09-28",true,{"@type":52,"interactionType":53,"userInteractionCount":26},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":54},"ViewAction",{"@type":56,"mainEntity":57},"FAQPage",[58,64,68],{"name":59,"@type":60,"acceptedAnswer":61},"What is the primary purpose of the Vocabulary Word Concept Map?","Question",{"text":62,"@type":63},"The map is designed to connect key vocabulary concepts to students' prior knowledge and facilitate indirect vocabulary building.","Answer",{"name":65,"@type":60,"acceptedAnswer":66},"When should teachers use this tool in the classroom?",{"text":67,"@type":63},"The map should be used before, during, and after a reading selection or lesson, allowing students to build upon the content as they progress through the material.",{"name":69,"@type":60,"acceptedAnswer":70},"How do students derive a definition using this tool?",{"text":71,"@type":63},"After filling in the map with details, examples, and descriptors, students synthesize the information from the bubbles into a clear, easy-to-understand sentence.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":32,"og:type":74,"og:title":10,"og:site_name":45,"og:description":12},"article",{"robots":76,"canonical":32},"index,follow",{"doc_id":78,"site_id":7},414382,1792176640,{"code":4,"msg":81,"data":82},"success",[83,87,91,94,99,104,109,114,119,122,126],{"id":22,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":84,"show_sort_weight":85,"slug":86},"Story & Novel",90,"story-novel",{"id":26,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":88,"show_sort_weight":89,"slug":90},"Literature",80,"literature",{"id":33,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":29,"show_sort_weight":92,"slug":93},70,"exam",{"id":95,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":96,"show_sort_weight":97,"slug":98},5,"Comic",60,"comic",{"id":100,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":101,"show_sort_weight":102,"slug":103},6,"Technology",50,"technology",{"id":105,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":106,"show_sort_weight":107,"slug":108},7,"Healthcare",40,"healthcare",{"id":110,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":111,"show_sort_weight":112,"slug":113},8,"Research & Report",30,"research-report",{"id":115,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":116,"show_sort_weight":117,"slug":118},9,"Religion & Spirituality",20,"religion-spirituality",{"id":117,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":120,"show_sort_weight":117,"slug":121},"World Cup","world-cup",{"id":123,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":124,"show_sort_weight":123,"slug":125},10,"Lifestyle","lifestyle",{"id":127,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":128,"show_sort_weight":95,"slug":129},19,"General","general",{"code":4,"msg":81,"data":131},{"doc_id":78,"user_id":132,"nickname":42,"user_avatar":133,"doc_module":4,"category_id":33,"category_name":29,"doc_title":10,"doc_description":12,"doc_content":134,"file_id":135,"file_url":136,"file_type":137,"file_size":138,"view_count":26,"is_deleted":4,"is_public":22,"is_downloadable":22,"audit_status":22,"page_count":22,"language":139,"language_code":8,"site_id":7,"html_lang":8,"table_of_contents":140,"faqs":141,"seo_title":142,"seo_description":12,"update_tm":143,"read_time":30,"preview_page_count":4},8796095461610,"https://ap-avatar.wpscdn.com/davatar_276721f389ce27ea32af1340a28f341c","Vocabulary Word Concept Map  \nA large, formal dinner  \nWhat is it similar to?

Select a word that is key to the meaning of a story or topic of study. For example, the story “A Feast for 10” lists three vocabulary words: platter, feast, and family. From the title alone, we can assume that “feast” will represent the greatest concept of this story.  \n2. Use this concept map before, during, and after a reading selection/lesson in which the key word will be read or taught. Introduce the word before the story is read, fill in a few bubbles as you read, and complete the map at the conclusion of the story. For example:  \n3. Create a definition of the concept word, using the words from the bubbles. For example:  \nA feast is a meal. A feast has many course, lots of food, and is often a celebration. Some examples include: Thanksgiving, a wedding reception, and holidays with family. A feast is like a large, formal dinner.  \n4. Compare this definition to a dictionary definition and notice how much easier this definition is for your students to understand. This tool is a great way to connect a key concept to students’ prior knowledge and also helps foster “indirect” vocabulary building with, for example, such words as: courses, celebration, reception, and formal.  \nCourtesy of [StudySkills.com](StudySkills.com)  \nGet our FREE Guide, Six Steps to Conquer the Chaos.: How to Organize and Motivate Students for Success! at [StudySkills.com](StudySkills.com).  \nThanksgiving  \nwedding reception","cbCairZYQf54Tykf","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairZYQf54Tykf","pdf",166000,"English","# How to Use the Vocabulary Word Concept Map\n## Implementation Steps\n## Example Application: Feast","[{\"question\":\"What is the primary purpose of the Vocabulary Word Concept Map?\",\"answer\":\"The map is designed to connect key vocabulary concepts to students' prior knowledge and facilitate indirect vocabulary building.\"},{\"question\":\"When should teachers use this tool in the classroom?\",\"answer\":\"The map should be used before, during, and after a reading selection or lesson, allowing students to build upon the content as they progress through the material.\"},{\"question\":\"How do students derive a definition using this tool?\",\"answer\":\"After filling in the map with details, examples, and descriptors, students synthesize the information from the bubbles into a clear, easy-to-understand sentence.\"}]","Directions for Vocabulary Word Concept Map | PDF",1790597399]
