Webbing-Wiggling-Weaving
After reading a chapter in Fodder’s Portable book about Napa Valley and Sonoma Valley and Northern County, (Erika Lenkert, 2006 Frommer’s Portable Wine Country, Wiley Publishing, Inc., Hoboken, NJ) I thought I’d try to create a comparison concept map with Inspiration. I had never used Inspiration before. After getting started, I really liked it and immediately saw the possibilities for students. While reading, I had taken notes about each valley, so I entered that information in the columns labeled “Differences”. When they didn’t “match up”, I reread to see if I missed any information that would make the comparison clearer. Had I not mapped what I had found, I would not have noticed that I missed important facts. From the chapter “Modeling Recursion in Research Process Instruction,” in Curriculum Connections, Guild called this a kind of cognitive self-talk, the ongoing monologue of discovery, testing and analysis. In creating concept maps, students will recognize the need to “wiggle” just as I did.

As far as my research goes, and answering the question of which region to visit, the two valleys are very distinct, so since we have 3 days, we will visit both.
The sources I’ll be using to determine which wineries to tour are the e-book, Frommer’s Portable Wine Country, visitor’s bureau brochures, friends’ recommendations, Wine Country website, and individual wineries websites.
