ACTIVITY #2: MIND MAPPING

MIND MAPPING
Mind mapping is a powerful thinking tool. It is a graphical technique that mirrors the way the brain works,
and was invented by Tony Buzan. Mind mapping helps to make thinking visible. Most people make notes
using lined paper and blue or black ink. Making notes more attractive to the brain by adding color and
rhythm can aid the learning process, and can help to make learning fun. The subject being studied is
crystallized in a central image and the main theme radiates out from the central image on branches. Each
branch holds a key image or a key word. Details are then added to the main branches and radiate further
out. Mind maps have a wide variety of uses, for example, note taking, revision planning, planning for writing
and problem solving can all be successfully carried out using the technique. The colors and the graphics
used will help children to organize their ideas and thoughts. They can be very simple or, quite detailed
depending upon the age of the children and the complexity of the subject. Because creating the mind map
involves the use of the left and right brain, remembering the information becomes easier!
Below is an example of a simple mind map linked to the information above.

How to draw a mind map:

1. Use the back page of your worksheet.

2. Choose between Covid-19, New Normal Class and Election as your subject of the map.
3. Add the branches representing the subject’s main topics or themes using key words or images.
4. Add detail with more key words and images.
