  1. Mind MappingActivity Based on the work of Tony Buzan Kate Ellis North Tonawanda City School District

  2. Find Your Group • Look around the room and find those wearing the same lei as you • Find a place to gather and work • Once you are all settled, send someone to get the necessary supplies: • 1 large piece of poster paper • A marker for each member • Stacks of post-its for everyone

  3. Word Association • Write the term given to your group by the teacher, nice and BIG, in the center of your large poster paper • Each group member should have their own marker and package of post-its • You will have 2 minutes to silently brainstorm as many words and phrases that are related to the key term as possible • Write them on the post-its and place on the paper

  4. When Time is Called: • Rotate to the next table and continue the process • Don’t read what others have written! • Just think for yourself and fill the paper with as many post-its as you can

  5. Make a Complete Rotation VISIT EACH TABLE!

  6. Return to Your Original Spot

  7. Organize the Ideas • Clear all post-its from paper • Categorize the thoughts

  8. Rearrange Post-its • Cluster the post-its back on the paper in a way that makes sense to your group • Draw a shape (circle, square, etc.) around each cluster as a barrier; try to use a different color for each cluster • Devise a category title for each cluster and clearly label each with the new title

  9. Send Someone New for Supplies • 1 new piece of poster paper • A variety of markers • Mind Mapping directions

  10. Mind Mapping Based on the work of Tony Buzan (Australia)

  11. THE RULES: 1. Begin with a central image of 3 or more colors • Make the lines connecting to center image thicker and curved, like the branch of a tree • For the lines connected to central image, use only one key word per branch (these are your categories) • PRINT all words • Make line length equal to word length • Try to have an image for each branch (category) • Keep your paper placed horizontally before you; there should be no turning of the paper to read the completed map

  12. Share Your Maps
