Step 1: Set up your concept map

flan_drea — 2025-05-29 03:11:39 UTC

Draw an circle in the middle of the paper and write “social justice and health care” inside of it
Designate areas for questions, background information, and keywords in 3 corners of the paper

Step 2: Find background information

Think about what questions you may have about the topic and write them down in the “questions” corner
Use CREDO Reference, CQ Researcher, Wikipedia, or other sites to find background information and try to answer the questions you wrote down. Add information to the "background" corner
As you look for background information, more questions about the topic may arise. Add them to your list of questions

Part 1

Step 3: Brainstorm concepts to explore further

flan_drea — 2025-05-30 12:43:31 UTC

Talk with your group and write down ideas you want to explore more on your map, then draw lines to connect them to the main topic.

Step 4: Identify related concepts

Add more bubbles to your map!

Step 5: Consider source types

Think about the following questions and discuss with your group:

Where would you go to find more information about your topic?
Who is an expert?
What types of sources would you use to answer your questions?

Write down potential sources next to specific bubbles.

Step 6: Develop your research statement

flan_drea — 2025-05-30 12:45:31 UTC
