The '''Zedupad''' resources ''Subsistence farmers'' and ''Growing Maize'' (see link below) provide an interesting topic for a concept mapping activity. Ideas to be linked include the hazards of using fertilisers and traditional versus modern farming methods. Slide 15 of the ''Growing Maize'' resource shows the beginning of a flowchart ''from seed to nshima''. Flowcharts, like concept maps, are a useful method for organising material and finding relationships and connections between ideas. Completing the ''seed to nshima'' flowchart is a useful activity that will help students to focus on the main ideas to include in their concept map. | The '''Zedupad''' resources ''Subsistence farmers'' and ''Growing Maize'' (see link below) provide an interesting topic for a concept mapping activity.
