This Worksheet requires four $(4)$ mind maps to be created, showing Content Ideas. A mind map is a tool for the brain that captures the thinking that goes on inside your head. Mind mapping helps you think, collect knowledge, remember and create ideas. Please note that each mind map can be very different.

Mind maps can be created in many different ways, but they share the same basics:

Central theme

A central theme is placed in the centre of a blank page. This is the title, the subject, a problem or just a thought.

Associations

From the central theme associations radiate out. Associations directly from the central theme are called first level associations. Then second level associations are created, third level and so on$.$

Curved lines

Associations are often drawn as curved lines. They are curved rather than straight, because the brain likes curves.

Keywords

Mind maps summarize information. Instead of sentences, ideally only single keywords are used. A single word per association gives more freedom, creativity and clarity.

Proximity

The length of a word ideally matches the length of a curved line. That causes associated words to be in close proximity.
