Please read the text below:
So
how does this work?
First you put an
empty (no lines) piece of paper in front of you in
landscape. Second you think about the subject, its
audience and perhaps a result you are after. Than you write down
a word that best describes your subject or even
better make a little drawing in the center of the page.
Than draw a branch at 'one o'clock' thick near the center and
thinner where it radiates out and write the first main
topic alongside the branch at exactly the length of the
branch using capitals (or a little drawing). Don't use
sentences use only keywords as much as possible. Than connect
to the main branch every subtopic that has a link like
paragraphs to a chapter in a book. Than write the next main
topic under the first mainbrach drawing again a branch and
repeat this clockwise until you are out of main topics. E.g.
if we would be writing a book by first setting up a
mind map we would start to note down the title of the
book in the middle of the mindmap and our first main
branch would be 'chapter one' and the first subtopic
after this main topic would be paragraph one (1.1). If
you want to stimulate the cooperation of both halfs of
your brain i.e. whole brain thinking than use as much
preferences of your left half and your right half (see above)
so use color, pictures, tables, connecting lines,
codes, associations and so on.
Assignment:
- Please distill a checklist / instruction out of the text for making mindmaps.
