Recommendations to develop a conceptual map.
- Identify the topic, read it as many times as you need to understand the concepts and main ideas you want to develop.
- Write down, separately and summarized, all the concepts and definitions in the order you want to learn them.
- Try to organize all these concepts, from the most general to the most specific.
- Divide the longest or most important concepts into 3 or 4 phrases that you can relate among them, so you do not work with paragraphs but with small chunks.
- Use connectors to join phrases and concepts, this will allow you to understand better the topic.
