Title Slide |
Welcome to this Spoken Tutorial on Creating a Mind Map. |
| Slide 2
Learning Objectives |
In this tutorial, we will,
Explore how to create a mind map through simple step-by-step instructions. Build 4 to 6 main branches from the central idea. Apply the method using Photosynthesis as an example. |
| Graphic: Person thinking with colourful branches | What exactly is a mind map?A mind map is a picture of how our brain thinks.
It starts from an idea in the centre and expands in all directions. Our brain loves colour, pictures and patterns.It doesn’t like long lists. |
| Graphic: Example- “Holiday Planning” mind map | Let us see Riya in action. Riya uses mind maps to plan, take notes or brainstorm ideas.
For example, planning a trip, executing a trip and enjoying the planned holiday. |
| Graphic: Notebook and coloured pens | Now it's time to create a map by hand.
All we need is a sheet of paper and coloured pens or pencils. |
| Graphic: Blank page with circle in centre | Now let’s write the main idea in the centre of the page.
Draw a circle or bubble around it. Let’s write photosynthesis. This is our central idea.So, what is photosynthesis? It is the process by which green plants, algae, and some bacteria use sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to produce glucose and release oxygen. |
| Graphic: Three main branches grow outward | Step 2: Draw thick, curved branches from the centre.
Each branch represents a key idea. For Photosynthesis, let’s add Requirements, Process and Products. Use a different colour for each branch. |
| Graphic: Add smaller branches under Requirements | Step 3: Let us add smaller branches for supporting details.Under Requirements, let’s add Sunlight, Water, CO₂ and Chlorophyll.
We will use one keyword per branch.This will keep ideas flexible.Add little drawings such as sun, a leaf, a drop of water. Our brain loves images! |
| Graphic: Add branches under ProcessShow arrows to indicate flow and cause and effect. | Under Process, let’s add Light Reaction and Dark Reaction. |
| Graphic: Add branches under Products | Under Products, let’s write Glucose and Oxygen.
Now connect Glucose to Energy for Plant Growth. |
| Graphic: Mind map growing radiantly | Step 4: Let's keep expanding. Don’t worry about neatness.
Every mind map is unique. Pause here and think, what other ideas can you add? |
| Graphic: Add colour and doodles | Step 5: Let us use colours and shapes to make it memorable.
Colours stimulate memory and keep both sides of our brain active. |
| Graphic: Completed mind map displayed | And that’s it! Photosynthesis mind map is ready.
Here we can see the entire process in one glance. |
| Graphic: Teacher with students creating maps | Mind maps aren’t only for study; they’re for life!
Teachers can use them to introduce new topics or summarise lessons. Students can create their own maps as a classroom activity. It encourages imagination, critical thinking and creativity. |
| Graphic: Benefits list appears | Mind maps help us to:
1. Connect ideas visually 2. Recall concepts quickly 3. Engage in active learning instead of rote memorisation 4. Stimulate creative thinking and long-term memory |
| Graphic: Everyday uses – goal setting, planning, decisions | We can use mind maps to plan our week, set goals or make decisions.
The same method works for any topic from science to self-growth. |
| Graphic: Hand-drawn map fades into digital version | When hand-drawing becomes easy, try Freeplane to create and share maps.
Let’s learn to create maps using Freeplane in our next tutorial- Introduction to Freeplane. |
| Graphic: Radiant brain image expanding outward | Please remember: Every mind map begins with one idea and radiates outward.
That’s exactly how our brain thinks- radiantly and creatively! |
| Slide 3
Summary Slide |
Let’s summarise.A mind map is a visual tool that shows connections between ideas.
We created a mind map using Photosynthesis as an example. We used keywords, colours and images to make it clear and memorable. Mind maps help anyone learn, teach, plan and think more creatively. |
| Slide 4
Assignment Slide |
Here’s an assignment for you.Choose a topic you know well like, Healthy Eating or Time Management.Create a mind map using these steps.
Use keywords, colours and drawings. Share it with a friend or classmate and compare your maps. |
