Use of Bridge Maps – Bridge maps assist students with understanding
relationships and analogies. How have you used a bridge map to show
relationships or analogies in your teaching this week? What was the first pair
and the second pair? What was the relating factor? Did the relating factor
assist students with the understanding of the pairs? Did the student's Frame of
Reference help guide the
map?
Going a bit further – Give analogies to students in a variety of ways: give
them a pair of words and ask for the relating factor; give a relating factor and
ask for a pair of words that fits the relationship; give students the top of one
relationship and the bottom of the other pair and ask them to try to complete
the bridge
map.
Physical Education students use the "relating factor" - muscle groups utilized. They can place an exercise on top line and the muscle group used below on the left portion of the bridge. The right portion of the bridge could have a sport action on top the line and the muscle group used below.
