Concept mapping is a technique for identifying, organizing, and sharing knowledge - it is a visual representation of information.
Concept mapping helps us identify information we know and helps us group concepts or ideas. It also helps us define how concepts or ideas are related to each other.
Concept maps can take many forms including charts, graphic organizers, tables, flowcharts, Venn Diagrams, timelines, or T-charts.

A working bibliography is a tool that can help you keep an accurate and detailed list of sources you are using for a project. These sources can include anything that may be useful or relevant to your project (books, articles, websites, videos, etc.).
Your working bibliography is a draft of your final reference list - by keeping track of your sources (and formatting them into APA 7 when you have time) you will have a draft of your project's references - you tidy it up and make sure it is accurate before you complete your project.
This is a great stress reliever and time saver when you get to the end of your project!
