The PowerPoint shows how I use a circle map to gather information and create a story with it about Buddy my dog. What I say as I show PowerPoint: First I draw the circle map and separate it into 3 sections. My topic goes in the middle. I will label the sections like/dislike; is; has. Next; I think of all the things Buddy is; his likes and dislikes; and what he has. This completes my circle map. I will use this information to help write my story. (Then show the next page in the PowerPoint and how the story is created.)
