The steps to create a Mind map are presented below:
- Central node – is drawn in the middle and it will represent the idea / knowledge to be detailed.
- Main branches – will be added around central node in the clockwise starting from the right part at 2.00 position.
- Sub-nodes – are linked with lines by the central node or by another node. They will contain detailed information about those branches. It would be good to keep the same colour as the branch that is linked.
- What is the main knowledge/the main category? Use the title for a hint.
- What are possible categories of sub-nodes (some examples)?
- What are component parts/the structure?
- What are the characteristics?
- What are the categories?
- What type is the connection between nodes: inferiority (exclusivity, specificity, objectivity) or superiority (inclusivity, generality, abstracts)?
- What are the differences between knowledge/categories?
- Too many words used to name a node
- Using of a single colour
- Straight lines that intersect (instead of them use curved lines)
- Get stuck on a particular idea when creating content. Write whatever comes into your mind.
