Concept Map / Sketch Notes on Blood

students working

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.
