The real architects of word maps are the students who use their prior knowledge to deepen their understanding of the topic that results in graphic representations of the relationships and associations of meanings or concepts to the target word (Schwartz & Raphael, 1985) . The use of semantic maps as instructional tools provides students with a deepening understanding of words including their concept knowledge, relationships to other words, and multiple meanings.  \nThe semantic mapping strategy is most effective when it is used before, during, and after reading and when the teacher serves as the guide or facilitator to the students who construct their own semantic maps. When semantic mapping is used as a prereading strategy, it helps to activate students’ prior knowledge (Heimlich & Pittelman, 1986). Further, the teacher may use the students’ prereading semantic maps to determine how much knowledge building is required before students read the text (Antonacci, 1988) . When using semantic mapping as a post-reading instructional strategy, teachers employ students’discussions to help them recall and organize information that they have learned from reading text as they make connections to words or concepts related to the topic. Fundamental to the success of the approach is the students’ engagement in discussions of word concepts that focus on deepening their knowledge of the academic vocabulary related to content. When semantic maps were first used to develop word knowledge, they all looked the same. Over the years, we have seen hybrids of the first maps that were used as teachers’purposes for using the graphics developed. For example, word maps may show associations with similar words; they may depict definitions and examples and nonexamples; they may map synonyms and antonyms of target words; they may present the hierarchical relationships to other words; or they may simply present free associations of words to the underlying meaning of the topic. Semantic maps are most effective when (1) they are used with teacher-guided discussion before, during, and after reading a text;  \n(2) teachers select a few critical key words to be taught; and (3) students are actively engaged in constructing their word maps through participating in lively discussions on the conceptual nature of words.  \n22 SECTION I 􀂡 ACADEMIC VOCABULARY  \nSource: National Governors Association Center for Best Practices (NGA Center) & Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO), 2010.  \nCCSS. ELA-Literacy. CCRA. L.6 Acquire and use accurately a range of general academic and domain-specific words and phrases sufficient for reading, writing, speaking, and listening at the college and career readiness level; demonstrate independence in gathering vocabulary knowledge when encountering an unknown term important to comprehension or expression.  \nSTEP-BY-STEP PROCEDURE  \nUsing semantic maps requires full participation by students who are engaged during teacher-directed discussion. Students will be required to use maps before, during, and after reading the text. Therefore, this step-by-step procedure is designed for using semantic maps as a strategy at different phases of reading informational or narrative text.  \nBEFORE READING  \nPrior to reading the text, the teacher examines the text to be read and carefully selects the key words to be learned (content or Tier 2 words) that are critical for understanding the text and the lesson.  \n1. The teacher introduces the selected content words through the use of the semantic word map and guided discussion.  \n2. Using chart paper, the blackboard, or a software program with a graphics tool, the teacher draws or projects the word map so ","cbCaidZ9SlRYuTSJ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaidZ9SlRYuTSJ","pdf",1241127,"English","# STRATEGY OVERVIEW\n## Semantic maps as instructional tools\n## When semantic mapping is most effective\n# STEP-BY-STEP PROCEDURE\n## BEFORE READING\n## DURING READING\n## AFTER READING","[{\"question\":\"What is semantic mapping and what does it help students do?\",\"answer\":\"Semantic mapping uses word meanings displayed as networks so students can see how concepts and associations relate to a target word.
