Task1. Write one of the themes in the middle of a sheet of paper. Circle it.2. Write down the first word or phrase that comes to mind and circle it.3. Draw a line connecting the second circle to the first.4. Repeat. As you write and circle new words and phrases, draw lines

back to the last word, the central word, or other words that seem connected. Don’t worry about how they’re connected

5. When you’ve filled the page, cross out words and phrases that seem irrelevant, and begin to impose some order by numbering individual bubbles or clusters.

6. Use the remaining words or phrases to form the outline of a basic ideas shoot. The ones you numbered first are the ones that you should focus on.

• Next lesson will see you test these ideas out with an informal shoot so bring cameras

• Homework - take your mind maps home and illustrate with appropriate images. Bring back to class for next lesson. Repeat for another theme if you wish

Summary

• You have two minutes to write down (silently) one thing you learned about two of the themes discussed.

• You will then share this with the class and write down at least one other thing someone else has learned.
