① ｉｎｔｒｏｄｕｃｔｉｏｎ

i've only little experience about

them, unfortunately.. . but still,

i think i might be able to help

you with creating one!^^ i've never

learnt the proper way of creating

one, but based on my observations,

mindmaps are something we use

to organize information and ourselves

at the same time loll >>,<<

owh well, let us get startedd ! !

ʕ•ٹ•ʔ ｉｎｄｅｘ

❖ introduction

❖ a specific topic!

❖ basic layouts :>

❖ *actually* creating one

❖ outroduction

② a ｓｐｅｃｉｆｉｃ ｔｏｐｉｃ !

a. choose a topic;

b. be specific

those are our top two steps on starting

to create one. to avoid certain confusions,

let us look at it this way, creating a mindmap

is either of this three types of mindmaps! ❦

ｌｉｂｒａｒｙmind maps

are used to organize information visually, so multiple pieces of information or topics can be scanned easily without losing any part.

this is what us students, are likely to use!

i highly recommend using this one at the

end of every topic, discussion or chapter!

ｐｒｅｓｅｎｔａｔｉｏｎmind maps

are used to present a progression of ideas, such as telling a story or tracking a call to action process.

this method focuses on the audience rather than the topic.

ｐｌａｎｎｉｎｇmind maps

can be used to visually present various actions and the relations sub-actions the can be expected from different plans.

the core topic of the mind map reflects the desired outcome.

mindmaps, click on the link provided below;

✦✧—

this small consideration alone helps us

create inferences and make adjustments

according to the topic itself!

but whatever your chosen topic is,

we should be able to know these;

。

。

i. mastery of the topic — we should study

and research about the said topic. usually, it

is more on facts than opinion. in here, what is

important is the information, clarity(of pen–

manship, connection, organization of ideas

and relation of the topics.

make sure to avoid unnecessary things, we

should focus on the connection of each topic and subtopics as they are what makes our mind map interconnected to each other.

if it is an on–the–spot mindmap activity, then

we shall rely on just; both our notes, and our

selves.. . here, we could really use a draft as

the tension and unpreparedness will surely

make our mindmap confusing, and very

unorganized. well– yess, mindmaps aren't

meant to be super organized, but just in

case it is for a graded activity, as a reviewer

(yes, they are very effective reviewers ówö),

as a reference, for group activity purposes..

etc. we could really use some organization!

。

。

。

ii. connection and relationships — a

chain of connected topics, with short but

precise meaning forms a good mindmap.

the more the topics seem unconnected,

the weaker the connections, the lesser your

mastery of the topic is! in here, connections

are very useful, as they tell whether we have

a good understanding, and retention of the

topic, or–– not.

。

。

iii. create with creativity —

lastly, let your imagination

flow when creating one! be sure that you

are not in too much stress or tension when

attempting to create one. i find it exhausting

and mentally –blocking when i do things,

specifically, art–related things, or poem,

essays, and everything "creation"

on a very focused state, or full of concentration.

sometimes, we don't have to put in too much

concentration on everything. has it ever

happened to you, where you suddenly find

something you've been looking for hours at

that moment you aren't searching for it?

well, that just states that–– things happen

at unexpected times, and sometimes, the

world is all upside–down. sometimes, we

sleep with open eyes, and wake up

with closed eyes. : ]

③ ｂａｓｉｃ ｌａｙｏｕｔｓ :>

the basic layouts of mind maps usually goes

like either of this;

a ) topic ==> subtopic ==> branches

b ) topic ==> meaning ==> subtopic ==> meaning ==> examples

c ) topic ==> meaning ==> kinds ==> meaning (of each) ==> examples

in most cases, they include;

a) examples

                                 b) fun–facts

                                 c) mnemonics

                                  d) headers

                                 e) shapes

                                 f) brush lettering

                                 g) doodles

                                 h) creative lines

                                 i) summary

                                 j) small reflection

                                 k) questions

                                 l) formulas

                                 m) meanings

                                 n) humor

                                 o) quotes

                                 p) stamps

                                 q) stickers

                                 r) lettering

                                 s) drawing

                                 t) dates

                                and so many more.. .

we can create combinations with any of these, and the outcome would still look as good.

things all come down to one's style. so, there isn't really any "proper " layout of a mind map.

what is important is, we have the topic, subtopics and a good connection between those.

it is important that we know the relation to each other and that, we find our mind map really useful!
