A circle map is like a big circle on a piece of paper. It is a tool we can use to help us organize our thoughts and ideas.
Imagine that you have a big idea, like "Animals." You can write "Animals" in the center of the circle map. Now, think of all the different types of animals that you know. Maybe you think of dogs, cats, lions, elephants, and giraffes. You can draw little lines or "branches" coming out from the circle, and write each of these animal names on a different branch.
But wait! There's more! Maybe you want to think more about the different kinds of dogs. You can add another circle outside of the first one, but still connected to it. Inside that circle, you can write "Dogs." Then, you can add more branches for different types of dogs like Labradors, poodles, and bulldogs.
Using a circle map can help you organize your thoughts and ideas, and see how they all connect together!
