Inspiration Diagram

 
This is a screen shot of my inspiration diagram. It is from a Tennessee first grade science textbook. I chose weather because it was an easy topic to break up into subtopics and examples. I like this tool for a classroom because it displays information in a more dynamic way for students. Instead of reading paragraphs and mentally grouping things, the student can look at the diagram and get the information they need. I also like the idea of putting one together as a class. You could let the students pick the subtopics and sort through them. You could also have an activity where you place all the pictures of examples to the side and have students come up and choose where to link it. Inspiration is a really cool classroom tool that can have several uses!
