What I learned about concept map is how one main idea can branch out to smaller ideas to see how they all connect to each other. This will be very helpful for me in taking ideas when reading portions of a text and deconstruct what the text is trying to point out and find further information behind the text. The concept map can also be used to connect our background knowledge and connect to the reading to make more intensive connections and relations to texts.  It is more of dissecting a reading to find main points, ideas, and objectives.
