Writing Made Easy by Mind Mapping
I started teaching the idea of mind mapping to my oldest two children recently. They are at the main point where they are reading quite a volume of books and I want to get them to comprehending what they are reading. I'd like them to start to produce book reports or oral presentations. However, if they try, they sometimes come across that age old issue of staring at a blank little bit of paper and are not quite sure how to get started and how they will fill the page. The problem is that they are trying to start without the structure. AI Mind Maps can easily get paralyzed just wondering getting to the end of a full page or two without a plan. I'd like to help them start on the right foot and consider their subject rather than thinking about what appears like the daunting nature of the duty at hand.

I had already shown them the idea of an outline and talked in their mind about the structure of a five paragraph report. This very traditional structure comes with an introductory paragraph, three main points about your subject, and a conclusion. But when you're discovering the material to fill the report, you're still drawing a blank especially when you try to think about the order that you would like to cover your points simultaneously that you are attempting to generate them.

Since the time I was raised, there are some new skills that make the process easier. I told them that I use mind maps in the beginning of the procedure for organizing my thoughts. Mind mapping has less structured than an overview but it is not quite as free-form as brainstorming. I find that brainstorming will not give enough direction and I don't think that is very conducive to just how that people think. I find it much easier to produce a mind map as soon as the mind map is done, prioritize the nodes within your brain map to produce an overview. Once I have an outline I'm prepared to start my article. I think that one of the easiest ways to create this article from this point is to pretend that I'm talking to someone who doesn't know about the subject that I'm presenting. I treat it in a conversational style. Or if my imaginary audience knows the subject then I am likely to be telling them about new details or new information regarding that subject. Once I've an idea of how to overcome this in a conversational style, I can utilize the mind map as helpful information to generating a written report.

At this point it is probably smart to define what mind mapping happens to be. A mind map is started with a central topic and it is put in a circle in the middle of a piece of paper. Alternatively, software may be used to build your brain map. Lines are extended from the main circle to create a new node for each and every proven fact that branches from that main idea. The branches can go off in any direction, it doesn't really matter at this stage. The ideas that go in nodes also go within circles. A new node can be generated one for just about any idea that is linked to the topic. This can be a section of my mapping that is closest to brainstorming. Additionally, there are sub-nodes that can be added to each node in your brain map. This can break that node into more detail. This should be achieved in somewhat of a free of charge format, rapid manner.

Once all the topics are listed on a mind map, the nodes could be reviewed and filtered out should they don't really belong there. The nodes can even be prioritized. They may be numbered in order of importance or in the order that they can be covered in the report or presentation. On paper, this can be done simply by writing numbers on each of the main nodes. Now that the nodes are in order, this process can be applied to the sub-nodes. Once it really is done, your brain map can easily used in an outline.

When I develop a mind map, what I normally do next is record myself talking about the subjects in the order that I've chosen on my Music player. I imagine that I am speaking to someone concerning this subject. It could take several takes to have a clean recording without pauses. Each recording gets a little easier. Once I have a recording that I'm happy with, I take advantage of software applications that translates speech to text to transcribe this article into a word processor. I pay attention to the recordings with my headphones and repeat it right into a microphone with the program running. Once I have my document, I can edit it the way I would edit any document that I'd write. If I want to take it a step further, I can now read the edited document aloud with a microphone and record it in audio format on my computer so I can have it in multiple formats.
