We use a “mind map” (theme map) to express the subject matter or concept of a topic in the form of a network. It is a way of thinking, begins with a topic/theme(主題) and generates related ideas(產生相 關概念) or concepts by association(聯想). It is a thinking skill that picturises concepts(圖像概念). ii. How can we draw a mind map? Steps: 1. Choose a topic/theme and write it down in the centre of a piece of paper. 2. Write or draw any concepts or ideas related to the theme, then link up these ideas to the theme from the centre. 3. When the mind map shows too many ideas, we can delete(刪除) duplicate ideas(重覆概念) or regroup some of the ideas.
