Memoir-Word+Webs

Webs are visual maps that show how different categories of information relate to one another. Webs provide structure for ideas and facts and give students a flexible framework for organizing and prioritizing information.

Typically, major topics or central concepts are at the center of the web. Links from the center connect supporting details or ideas with the core concept or topic.

Teachers and students alike use webs to brainstorm, organize information for writing (pre-writing), as well as to analyze stories and characterization.
