How to make a mind map

For this lesson, we were taught how to express our ideas using a mind map. Below are the steps that were taught last week.

Step 1: Create central idea

            The central idea represents the topic that you are going to explore

Step 2: Add branches to your map

           The main branches which flow from the central image are the key themes. By adding child

           branches, you can explore in greater depth for each theme.

Step 3:  Colour code your branches

             Colour coding allows you to categorize, highlight, analyze information and identify more

             more connections.

Step 4: Illustrate

            Images have the power to convey much more information than a word

I've learned a lot during the process of producing mind maps. I thought that it would be a good idea if all four of us focus on the chosen sub topic and start writing down their ideas instead of blurting out all our ideas together. But i was wrong. During our presentation, one of my group member was lost. He was having a hard time presenting his ideas because we didn't really communicate with each other. I then realized that it wasn't a good idea. If we were to have another group work in the future, i'll make sure that there are no communication barriers that will hinder along the way.
