50 Symbiosis (Tree Map)

We use tree maps to help organize information about categories of a subject (SYMBIOSIS)
Make sure to fill in information about the main three (Parasitism, Commensalism, and Mutualism)
Go above and beyond by adding more categories of Symbiosis

49 Symbiosis (Circle Map)

We use the Circle Map for Brainstorming and collecting information.  In this case, it's about symbiosis

Remember the FRAME OF REFERENCE (the rectangle)
We have blue for the point of view
Green for our sources - use as many as you need to fill the circle
Red for What did I Learn, and Why does it matter?

What you see below is an example of what the class came up with (yours should be your own, not a copy!)
