A Structured Overview is exactly that - an overview of a topic organised in a structured, hierarchical, graphic manner.

  • Start with the topic/sub topic heading at the top of the page.
  • Determine how many subheadings are going to form the next layer down and organise them across the page.
  • Link the heading to each subheading with a line.
  • Determine how many sub-sub headings or key terms each sub heading requires and organise them across the page.
  • Link each sub heading to its set of terms with a lighter/thinner line.

A Structured Overview is a form of Concept Map. It may be more appropriate to use a concept map rather than a structured overview when organising the results of students' brainstorming.
