Prior Knowledge Concept Map

I think this is a great concept map to use at the beginning of a new unit.  It serves the teacher in finding out what the students remember about the subject.  I had history events in mind here.  It also serves as a review for the students.  If you use one of the premium sites, you can add icons and other pics as well.  You can use the same map at the end of the unit so the students can compare it with the one they did at the start of the unit.  This can be a powerful reinforcer for learning that doesn't include the pressure of a test for those students who don't test well.
