Note Taking

Mind Mapping

Mind Mapping

  • Mind maps can be useful to see the connection between different ideas
  • When mind mapping you should consider following the "TREE" example 
    • Thought (write or draw out the big ideas and your thought process)
    • Relationship (How do ideas connect to one another?)
    • Expressive (How can you make your ideas stand out? Think about highlighting key words, adding colour, graphics, etc)
    • Efficient (How will these notes help you your learn your topic? Try not to make them too crowded or unorganized, the idea is to make your notes easy to review!)
