What exactly are these concept maps?

What I do is every 2 weeks I haved mt students get into groups of 2 or 3
and present a 5 minutes oral report on a current preiodical article. I
have subscriptions to Popular Science, Astronomy, Sky and Tel, Omni,
and Discover delivered to my class to give them something to choose from.
Then I elaborate on the topic if I know something on it.  It works well
and we get to cover topics we wouldn't mention ordinarily in our
course of study.
