Write ALL the words, phrases that come to your mind
Mind map
• Use the analysis and organization
• Start with central idea and radiate the sub sections
• Express using visuals
• Label the lines to connect the thoughts
Mind map guidelines1. Start in the center with an image of the topic, using at least 3 colors.2. Use images, symbols, codes, and dimensions throughout your mind map.3. Select key words and print using upper or lower case letters.4. Each word/image is best alone and sitting on its own line.5. The lines should be connected, starting from the central image. The central
lines are thicker, organic and thinner as they radiate out from the centre.6. Make the lines the same length as the word/image they support.7. Use multiple colors throughout the mind map, for visual stimulation and
also to encode or group.8. Develop your own personal style of mind mapping.9. Use emphasis and show associations in your mind map.10. Keep the mind map clear by using radial hierarchy, numerical order or
outlines to embrace your branches.
