More often than I’d like to admit, I come across an article that I wish I’d written. Here’s one I highly recommend to any students who brainstorm, particularly those in my EW and Intro to EW classes.
But it’s use is much broader than writ…ing papers. I personally use mindmapping to organize my ideas for planning my short stories and novellas. Listen up, Master StoryTeller students!
Finally, mindmapping helps you find connections between apparently random elements or ideas. Which, by the way, is one of the hallmarks of a critical thinking and reading skills, a needed skill for Mock Trial and all literature classes.
Hmmm. Maybe I should write a how-to article about that…
