3. THE 5 ESSENTIAL CHARACTERISTICS OF
MIND MAPPING:
• The main idea or subject is positionated in a central
image
• The main themes radiate from the central image as
'branches'
• The branches comprise a key image or key word
drawn on its associated line
• Topics of lesser importance are represented as 'twigs'
of the relevant branch
• The branches form a connected nodal structure

4. HOW TO MAKE A MIND MAP
• Think of a general main theme and
write that down in the center of
the page
• Figure out sub-themes of your
main concept and draw branches
to them from the center,
beginning to look like a spider web
• Make sure to use very short
phrases or key words

5. HOW TO MAKE A MIND MAP
• Add images and colors to
remind thought or get the
message across better
• Try to think of at least two
main points for each sub-
theme you created and
create branches out to
those
