The Three Branches of Government

This mind map was created using Popplet.

• This is an example of a completed mind map, but the idea behind this activity is to start from scratch and recreate this popplet as a class as a way to review the material students have learned.
• Students could also create a poplet on their own as a form of evaluation.
