DEFINE: SINGLE BUBBLE
What does it do?
A Single Bubble is a simple way of identifying the parts, or characteristics, of a topic under review. Its main purpose is to initiate thinking on a topic and to capture it easily without any undue organisation.
- How do you make it?
- Write the name of the topic in the centre bubble
- Write down the features, or parts, of the topic in smaller bubbles around the centre
- Link these smaller bubbles, with lines, to the centre bubble
When do you use it?
A Single Bubble is useful for:
- Capturing initial ideas about a topic
- As a starting point when learners are unsure of how to organize their work
- When you want to see how similar / different initial responses are to a shared stimulus
- Preparing further thinking such as comparing, sequencing or finding causes
