What a word web is.
A word web places one word or idea at the centre and connects it to related terms around the outside. Its branches can hold definitions, examples, opposites, feelings or any association that helps explain the central topic.
Word webs are especially useful for building vocabulary before speaking or writing. Unlike a sequence diagram, they do not show an order; they show the network of ideas a word brings to mind.
