  2. What is a Mind Map? Mind Mapping: is an analytical process that involves creative thinking.

  3. What is a Mind Map? Mind Mapping involves the: Creative integration of a combination of… • visuals • colour • words • connectors Text

  4. What is a Mind Map? Mind Mapping can be used to: • Take notes in class, • Study for a test or exam, • Brainstorm ideas, • Or make connectionsbetween existing ideas.

  5. Essential Components All Mind Maps include: • A central image that representsthe subject being mapped. Main themes that radiate likebranches from that central image. All branches have a key image or key word. All branches have a unifying structure. Effective use of colour.

  6. Creating a Mind Map A. Select a Topic • Think of a visual that captures the essence of that topic. • Place the visual in the centre of the paper – using colours that will assist you to remember that it is the most important idea.

  7. Creating a Mind Map B. Brainstorm Key Ideas • Record all the ideas that come to you. • Select the 5-6 that will be the first levels of exploration of your main idea. • Group the remaining ideas into common categories. Give each category, each ‘level’, a label.

  8. Creating a Mind Map B. Brainstorm Key Ideas • Draw a picture or symbol that represents each of the key ideas. • Position these visuals in a meaningful way. • Add in relevant key words and then join the text and visuals with connectors.

  9. Creating a Mind Map B. Brainstorm Key Ideas • Continue to brainstorm – allowing new ideas to radiate out from existing ones. • Repeat the process of adding more visuals, text, and connectors. • Continue until you have exhausted the main topic, the key ideas, the space, the time allotted, and/or your patience.

  10. Creating a Mind Map C. Reflect • Take time to look over your work as you complete it. • Talk over your ideas with a partner or a small group. • Think about the journey you took to conceptualise your key ideas. Have you thoroughly accomplished the task?

  11. Examples of Mind Maps • Here are some examples. Notice the following: • There is no RIGHT way to create a mind map. • These are all very interesting explorations of the main ideas, but they are all VERYdifferent. • You MUST use YOURstrengths to successfully communicate your ideas in an organised way. • And remember…

  28. A Few Reminders 1. Use emphasis • always use a central image, • use images throughout your Mind Map, • use three or more colours per central image, • use variations of size of printing, line and image, • use organised spacing, • use appropriate spacing.

  29. A Few Reminders 2. Use association • use arrows when you want to make connections within and across the branch pattern, • you can also use colours to show connections.

  30. A Few Reminders 3. Be Clear • try to use only one key word per line, • print all words, • try to make line length equal to word length, • connect lines to other lines, • make the meaning of each image as clear as possible, • keep your printing as upright as possible.

  31. A Few Reminders 4. Develop a Personal Style • remember: we are all astoundingly unique – our maps should reflect the unique networks and patterns of thought in our individual brains,

  32. A Few Reminders 4. Develop a Personal Style • Remember the 3 A’s: • ACCEPT – set aside all preconceptions and write/draw whatever comes to mind, • APPLY– use whatever your imagination comes up with to your advantage, and • ADAPT – constantly reflect on the success of your map as it develops (i.e. after each draft) and be open to making necessary changes.

  33. A Few Reminders 5. Break Mental Blocks • develop a positive mental attitude, • commit yourself to your Mind Map (even the absurd), • try to use images from the text you are studying, • add blank lines to your map that you can fill in later as new ideas occur to you, • make your Mind Map as beautiful as possible.
