My teens in Co-op create concept maps. Concept Maps promote higher levels of thinking. The kids need to know the vocabulary before they can categorize or groups of like ideas or terms. Here is the website, ihmc, free concept mapping software for Windows, OSX, iPad, and Linux. Here are the downloads. I start the kids with cards; they work in groups to create maps. Here is a sample Jamboard concept map. Here are instructions for Google Docs and here for Google Drawings. Below are,several examples. I start with simple concept maps, often giving kids sets of vocabulary cards to sort. Take a look.
