What is a mind map?


A mind map is an illustration with a keyword or phrase in the middle, lines connecting
from the middle to a main idea, and even more lines connecting from main ideas to
details. Building out from the center, mind maps are often said to look like sunbursts or
even spiderwebs. Mind maps can have more than three levels (middle, main ideas, and
details), but most stick with this model.

How to make a mind map?


Here’s how to create a mind map in five simple steps:

1. Choose the topic (in this case: choose ONE topic taught from Week 1 to Week 7) of
the mind map and place it in the middle of the drawing
2. Come up with three to five+ main ideas, then evenly space them in a circular
formation around the mind map topic
3. Draw a line from the mind map topic to each main idea
4. Brainstorm supporting details such as ideas, tasks, and questions for each main idea
5. Draw lines connecting each main idea to its supporting details
