How to do a Mind Map

(No Transcript)
6

• Look for relationships
• Use lines, colours, arrows, branches or some
  other way of showing connections between the
  ideas generated on your mind map. By
  personalising the map with your own symbols and
  designs - you will be constructing visual and
  meaningful relationships between ideas which will
  assist in your recall and understanding.

7

• Draw quickly on unlined paper without pausing,
  judging or editing
• All of these things promote linear thinking and
  the idea of mind mapping is to think creatively
  and in a non-linear manner. Sometimes it is one
  of those obscure possibilities that may become
  the key to your knowledge of a topic.

8

• Use capitals
• The idea of using capitals is to encourage you to
  get down only the key points. Capitals are also
  easier to read in a diagram.

9
Put main idea in the centre

• Most students find it useful to turn their page
  on the side and do a mind map in "landscape"
  style. With the main idea or topic in the middle
  of the page this gives the maximum space for
  other ideas to radiate out from the centre.

10
Leave lots of space

• Some of the most useful mind maps are those which
  are added to over a period of time. After the
  initial drawing of the mind map you may wish to
  highlight things, add information or add
  questions for the duration of a subject right up
  until exam time. For this reason it is a good
  idea to leave lots of space.

Summarising Readings
13

• 1. Skim
• Firstly, read the abstract, introduction,
  conclusion, key headings or chapter headings.
  When skimming through the text observe any
  diagrams, pictures or graphs. This gives you an
  overview of what you are about to read, puts it
  in context and may already give you some clues as
  to where the most relevant parts are located.

14

• 2. Read
• Read the article in one sitting
• ( or chunk it into sections/chapters if it is a
  whole book)
• and go over any parts you are not quite sure of.

15

• 3. Mind Map
• It is important to do the mind map from memory at
  this stage so don't consult the article or any
  other source of information.

16

• 4. Study
• The mind map you have just done is very valuable
  as it will show both areas you have understood
  and also areas you are not sure of. Study your
  mind map to discover the gaps in your knowledge
  and refer back to the source material to fill in
  any of these gaps.

17

• 5. Personalise
• Using different colours or symbols, add your own
  comments and questions to the mind map. Questions
  relating to relationships, implications,
  alternative approaches, usefulness, clarity,
  personal experience could all be considered at
  this stage. It is in this personalising stage
  where your mind map really starts to help you
  with your learning. The trick now is to address
  all those questions you have raised and to keep
  returning to your mind map with the answers!

Reading Efficiently by Reading Intelligently

• Good reading strategies help you to read in a
  very efficient way. Using them, you aim to get
  the maximum benefit from your reading with the
  minimum effort.

23
Strategy 1 Knowing what you want to know

• The first thing to ask yourself is
• Why you are reading the text? Are you reading
  with a purpose or just for pleasure? What do you
  want to know after reading it?
•  

24
Strategy 2 Knowing how deeply to study the
material

• Where you only need the shallowest knowledge of
  the subject, you can skim material. Here you read
  only chapter headings, introductions and
  summaries.

Strategy 3 Active Reading

• When you are reading a document in detail, it
  often helps if you highlight, underline and
  annotate it as you go on. This emphasizes
  information in your mind, and helps you to review
  important points later.
•  

27
Strategy 4 How to study different sorts of
material

• Reading Magazines and Newspapers

The most effective way of getting information
from magazines is to scan the contents tables or
indexes and turn directly to interesting
articles.
Reading Individual Articles
News articles are designed to explain the key
points first, and then flesh them out with
detail.
Opinion articles present a point of view.
Feature ArticlesThese are written to provide
entertainment or background on a subject.
28
Strategy 5 Reading whole subject

• Strategy 6 Using glossaries with technical
  documents

29

• These are
• Knowing what you need to know, and reading
  appropriately
• Knowing how deeply to read the document
  skimming, scanning or studying
• Using active reading techniques to pick out key
  points and keep your
• mind focused on the material
• Using the table of contents for reading magazines
  and newspapers,
• and clipping useful articles
• Understanding how to extract information from
  different article types
• Creating your own table of contents for reviewing
  material
• Using indexes, tables of contents, and glossaries
  to help you
• assimilate technical information

A POEM What can you count on your whole life
long?A key, that opens a door, so strong.Behind
that door is a store of knowledge.We've got it
now, needn't wait for college.What is the
answer, what is the key?It's R-E-A-D-I-N-G! When
we were tiny, big books we would hold.We
couldn't read them, but they were gold.Our
parents read to us, and that gave us
pleasure.Those words on the page were such a
treasure.They taught us some words, they gave
the first key.To R-E-A-D-I-N-G!
32
Then off to school we went with expectation.We
learned that reading is the key to education.We
read for fun, and we read to explore.Our
teachers urged us to read even more.They taught
us to research and write what we seeFrom
R-E-A-D-I-N-G! When we're older, we'll still
read every day.For people who matter who have
shown us the way.Our parents, our teachers all
love to read.They've encouraged us and planted a
seed.That seed will grow and will form a treeOf
R-E-A-D-I-N-G!
33
So, if you're a teacher, pass along the joyof
unlocking reading for a young girl or boy.When
those letters form words that a child can
read,That spells success, and it fills a
need.It opens doors that you may never seeTo
R-E-A-D-I-N-G! What can we count on, once we
have the key?An open door where the mind soars
free.Books to read are a child's greatest
treasure.They're a gift of love beyond all
measure.So pass along the gift and all children
will beR-E-A-D-I-N-G!
