The steps for drawing a mind map in unit 4 of the third-grade Chinese language volume are as follows:
1. Write the key words associated with the central theme clearly and neatly in the nodes. Take out a piece of white paper, which can be placed horizontally or vertically, and then start drawing from the center. After drawing the central theme in the middle, add color to it with a colored pen.
2. Draw lines from thick to thin starting from the central image and going around. Each line uses a different color to represent the connection between these branches and the theme, and then associate the key words of the central theme. Write clearly and neatly on the nodes, and use the association method to draw the mind map.
Mind mapping makes full use of the functions of the left and right brains, and uses the laws of memory, reading, and thinking to help people develop a balance between science and art, logic and imagination, thereby unlocking the unlimited potential of the human brain. Mind mapping therefore has the powerful function of human thinking.
Mind mapping is a method of visualizing thinking. We know that radioactive thinking is the natural way of thinking of the human brain. Every kind of data that enters the brain, whether it is feelings, memories or ideas - including words, numbers, codes, aromas, food, lines, colors, images, rhythms, Musical notes, etc., can become a center for thinking.
The role of mind maps
The role of divergent thinking in mind maps is to help us diverge and organize our thinking, and to maintain a flexible form that can be edited and organized at any time. Through mind mapping, we can visualize our thoughts and ideas, which can be modified and organized at any time. It also stimulates the right side of our brain to enhance our memory by using color, shape and imagination when creating maps.
By stimulating people's rich associative power, mind maps can express philosophical thinking without any obstacles, including the continuity of thinking, the depth of thinking, the criticality of thinking, and the divergence of thinking. Sexual thinking, association thinking, analogy thinking, image thinking, inspired thinking, dialectical thinking, etc.
