Semantic Mapping uses the same techniques as Brainstorming, but ideas and associations regarding a text are organized either by the teacher or the students under headings (Masters,Mori and Mori, 1993). In this way, relationships between items, themes, and big ideas are fleshed out and students are tuned into these relationships prior to examining the text. If words are written on post-it-notes then the words can be reorganized and new connections made easily.
