Thinking Maps can be used across all subject areas and can be used to strengthen students' reading comprehension and interpretation skills. This document contains over 30 literacy activities utilizing different Thinking Maps. These activities can be copied on to cardstock and used as center activities or can be used to help develop tiered lessons according to each literacy skill. Students can demonstrate their understanding of essential reading skills, such as cause and effect, sequencing, and characterization by creating different Thinking Map products.
Great product. This helps me so much because I am at a school that lives and breathes thinking maps.

Help
Hi Lisa,
I am interested in purchasing your literacy activities using Thinking Maps..Do you include blank thinking maps as well? Or only the posters displaying ways to use thinking maps?
Thanks,
Lisa

Hi, Lisa--
These are just literacy skill-based activities to use with the Thinking Maps. Thinking Map posters are not included, nor are blank templates of the maps. Hope this helps!

Are you allowed to use Thinking Maps in teaching units you have created? I have created several book units, but I want to know if I can sell them here on teachers pay Teachers.

I am currently a Talent Development Teacher for my district. I work to accelerate and challenge gifted students in grades K-5. Through close relationships and careful planning and collaboration with their classroom teachers, I am able to effectively meet the needs of these high ability learners. Before taking on this unique role, I taught 3rd grade for four and a half years. Immediately after graduating college, I spent nearly two years working with special needs students.
