LOOk fOR RELATIONSHIPS
When creating a mind map it is important to understand which sections of information relate to each other, and how they relate. Place a central idea in the middle, and relating themes and what they entail around your central theme, question or idea.
HOW TO DRAW A MIND MAP
Step 1: Pick the section of information you would like to transform into a mind map. Step 2: Write the central idea, question or theme in the middle of the page and outline it with a shape, for example a circle or rectangle.
Step 3: Draw several branches from this central shape and give each separate branch a heading that relates to your central idea. Draw a shape around each of these headings. Step 4: expand each of the separate headings by adding keywords or bulleted information. You can also add further sub-branches.
TIPS -
• Leave enough space when drawing your mind map in case you want to add information or questions later.
• use capitals for your main ideas. The more prominent your information is, the easier it will be for your brain to memorise the content. use capitals for the more important information and lower case for the less important words.
