Reviewing and Mind Mapping Concepts

Mind Mapping “A mind map is a diagram for representing tasks, words, concepts, or items linked to and arranged around a central concept or subject using a nonlinear graphical layout that allows the user to build an intuitive framework around a central concept. ” http: //www. mindmapping. com/

Why try mind mapping? We recommend doing these activities regularly to help students make connections between a new concept and prior knowledge. Designed as a tool to organize and represent knowledge, mapping exercises can help students visualize relationships between various concepts and test understanding of complex subjects.

Essential Charecteristics of Mind Mapping 1. The main idea, subject or focus is crystallized in a central image 2. The main themes radiate from the central image as 'branches' 3. The branches comprise a key image or key word drawn or printed on its associated line 4. Topics of lesser importance are represented as 'twigs' of the relevant branch 5. The branches form a connected nodal structure Image sourced from https: //www. mindmeister. com/blog/students-guide-to-mind-mapping/
