How do you make a Mind Map?

You start writing the 'Central Topic' in a box the middle of a page. Around that idea, you write the 'Main Organising Ideas' that relate to it. You continue to work outwards in different directions producing a growing, but organised structure, made up of key words and images.

You will need to take a little time to learn to use the special method for displaying key words, branches, numbers, symbols, colours and images: eventually Mind Maps become second nature. There is also computer software to help you draw a Mind Map.
