Example of a Mind MapMIND MAPPING              

A mind map is a personal visual representation of knowledge and/or skills and links.

It uses the imagination to help embed ideas in the long term memory and for some learners is a more powerful method of remembering and understanding than more logical layouts of information.

It is constructed by starting in the centre of a page, writing a central word and/or illustrating it. From this, coloured branching lines are drawn connecting topic headings to the central image. Information is added and joined by drawing smaller branches on to the structure rather like a tree. Ideas and thoughts can be linked between branches by using arrows.
