I used bubbl.us to create this simple concept map...actually a bunch of students and I sat down & we worked together. At the start of the unit they knew little-to-nothing of Amish; by this point you can see that some concepts were becoming clearer. The purpose was to classify/categorize different areas they were learning about so they could view closer the inner workings of how beliefs effect habits/actions/daily life. The next tier to this activity is to then draw comparisons and contrasts to typical "English" lifestyle. This concept map now includes the Objective Description AND what the proficient parameters were at the onset of the project.

Getting ideas on the best tool to use is a great idea! That is great you can help each other out.
