Journal Entry #1

A mind map gives visual form to ideas.

-Do not question until completed

-from the middle “whole” word, draw six or seven lines: nouns are a good idea.

-Hierarchy can help to emphasize concepts and make associations.

Concept maps and mind maps are very similar but the main difference is concept mapping allows for a more thorough investigation and analysis of conceptual relationships and meanings.

-Focuses more in systems thinking

-“When concept maps are conscientiously constructed, they are remarkably revealing of students’ cognition organization,” Joseph Novak

-Shows relationships of concepts in a hierarchical order, from general to specific. Each word is joined by a proposition of linking statement (depends on, can be, made of, from).

Freewriting- looping

Brainwriting is the written equivalent of traditional brainstorming.

-More inclusive of an entire group

-Use a template (6-3-5)

A traditional outline defines content through headings and subheadings.

-A plan of, of guide to, ideas you want to address, making it easier to work on sections in any order.

-A storyboard or a series of small schematic sketches can act similarly to an outline
