WHAT IS MIND MAPPING?

• Also known as concept mapping• It’s a visual illustration of the relationship between key ideas and concepts

WHY MIND MAP?

• Allows you to think critically about the relationship that exists between concepts and terms

• Its interactive and hands on approach to learning

• Use of color and visuals allows you to visualize a lot of terms

• It’s a great way to assess comprehension AFTER the unit has been taught

• Showa the overall structure of a subject and the relative importance of individual parts of it.

HOW DO YOU MIND MAP?

Step 1: Create a key to distinguish between the five major world religion

H- for HinduismB- for BuddhismJ- for JudaismC- for ChristianityI- for Islam

* Or use different color highlighters!

Step 2: Read through all the terms that you were given. As you read them, identify which religion each item belongs to using the key from step one.

Step 3: identify which of the concepts would be easy to find pictures for or to draw pictures for.

Step 4: On our project paper, write the topic of this unit “MAJOR WORLD RELIGIONS” in the middle.

Step 5: Write the five religions around the main concepts

Step 6: Around each of the five major religions, branch out to create the subsections and identify them.• some subjections might not apply to all

the religions.

Step 7: start to write out your mind map using all the terms that belong to that religion. Work on one religion at a time. Leave room for pictures around the word if you identified it as one you’re going to put a picture for.
