Concept Map / Sketch Notes on Blood
Your goal is to use the concepts from this section on blood to create a flowchart, concept map or creative sketch note to illustrate each concept and show how they are related. You will be graded on:
1. Text – must use terminology from the section and demonstrate understanding
(at least 15 terms and details)
2. Organization and Containers – related words emphasized or clustered by framing them together. This can be in the form of boxes, bubbles, letter styling, etc...
3. Connectors – Connect ideas through arrows, annotate arrows to detail relationships.
4. Sketches – Include 5-10 small images that help you remember the term.
5. Color – Color should be used so that relationships among terms are readily visible and easy to make out.
Tip: Plan your Sketch on paper first, making decisions about design elements and organization before working on your poster.
