The Word Map

A word map is a visual tool that shows the connections between a central word and related words or concepts. It typically starts with the main word placed in the center, with lines radiating outward to associated terms, synonyms, or ideas. This helps organize thoughts, explore vocabulary, or understand how different words relate to each other within a particular topic. Word maps are useful for brainstorming, learning new vocabulary, and gaining a clearer picture of how words connect in meaning or usage.
