Below are three Thinking Maps that were created this week by my 3rd graders in the Tier II Making Connections reading group at Northrup Elementary School. They all turned out fantastic for first-attempts!
1) We read a biography on Jesse Owens with a focus on sequencing. After reading, we created a flow map that ordered his important life events.
2) We also made a tree map to help organize Jesse Owens' life events by classifying the events into these groups: before, during, and after his track career.
3) After reading biographies on Martin Luther King Jr. and Jesse Owens, we attempted to make our first Double Bubble comparing and contrasting both of their lives. They color coded the similarities in purple. The other colors showed point and counterpoint: the top side circles in red, the middle side circles in orange, and the bottom circles in blue. Unfortunately, the scanner made it black and white, but I can bring the originals with the different colors to show you all.

Visually, the maps seem to have been done correctly. Your students caught on quickly. I liked how you used a tree to organize the events of Owen's life rather than a flow. Using a flow would have been challenging because it's difficult to sequence those event in a chronological fashion.
