DESCRIPTION
We created a concept map over the span of 3 weeks. A concept is a general idea or notion formed about a particular thing. A concept map is a visual representation of your understanding of the different parts that make up a concept. This concept map focuses on climate change. These concepts were connected by arrows and phrases. Every few days we added a few new concepts to add to our map.

REFLECTION
This project took a short time each day, so there were no time constraints. I used communication when I didn't understand parts of the assignment and worked with team members to make sure all of us were able to complete it.
I struggled with organizing concepts and making them fit on the paper. In the future, I can plan ahead and save space to make it more presentable. I could spend more time with making it look neat, but overall did well with keeping up.
