Mind Mapping (Week 4)

          Hi everyone, this time I was drawing mind maps with my friends, Winny and Beth on mahjong papers. We were using the color markers to make the mind maps more attractive and colorful. There are 2 mind maps that we’ve done, one is about “Pursuit of Happiness” and the other one is about “Creativity and Innovation”. At first, we made the outline about the mind map. We divided the "Pursuit of Happiness" into "what", "how", “love”, and “obstacles”. After we made the outline, each of them branched and become more detailed and specified. We gave many examples in each division and also decorated the paper with colorful pictures. We found it was exciting, because we could draw and give colors in the paper.

          In the second paper, we also did the same. The topic was about “Creativity and Innovation”. After we made the outline consisting of 4 branches, “what” and “how” for Creativity, “what” and “how” for Innovation, we also did the drawing and coloring on the mind map. Many interesting drawings and colors are made to represent the ideas.

          After we made the mind maps, we found that it was easy to memorize the topics. I also found it was exciting to read the mind maps, knowing that there are a lot of pictures and colors. I think that I should make the outline first when I’m doing a project, just like creating the mind maps, because we will be more interested to read something clear and consisting of colorful pictures. These mind maps also develop our creativity, by drawing and giving colors to make the mind maps.
