Mind Maps


Do you really believe that mind mapping will help you succeed in your studies? For me, it’s true. It’s proven that by using mind mapping people will understand more about the concept that he or she is learning about. By adding beautiful color and picture on the mind map can easily make someone memories the concept or anything. The whole concept is about the study. This week during my tutorial, I learn about mind mapping. It’s really interesting. Its also depends on how creative you are. Certain people they don’t get the idea of mind map. But to make a beautiful mind map you need to put extra effort on it.
Mind maps are great for brainstorming and working out key relationships between a number of ideas and elements of an argument. They allow you to see the connections between ideas you already have, connect new ideas to knowledge you already have and organize your ideas logically without being tied to a rigid structure.


We can create mind maps for chapters, articles or lectures, or as a writing plan drawing from many sources. The basic steps in creating a mind map follow:


1.Using a whole page, take the keywords and write them down.


2.If relevant, write down the disadvantages/advantages near the appropriate keywords.


3.Write simple phrases or keywords for the evidence near the appropriate keywords.


4.We may like to use different colors or shapes to represent different elements.

Here I will show you how to make a mind mapping using seven laws………
1. Start in the centre of a landscape page.
2. Use an image or picture for your central idea.
3. Use colours throughout.
4. Connect main branches to the central image..
5. Make branches curve and flow.
6. Use just one key word per line.
7. Use images throughout.
