Here’s an excellent example of a simple word web for <trunk> by Mei-chan. I love the pictures and the variety of arrows. It was a dictionary investigation that was done with a beginner class of elementary gr. 3-6 elementary students. The word came from a story of one of Kipper’s adventures at the pool where he thought he left his swimming trunks behind (You can see the swimming “trunks” on the stickman by the tree trunk). We grouped it there after talking about how the midsection of our body is called a trunk too.
