Mindmap

A mindmap is a diagram used to convey relationships between things, often concepts.

To construct a mindmap:

1. First, brainstorm for a few minutes, writing down terms, phrases, and people that are most important.
2. Choose a model that you best believe captures the relationships, such as a web, events chain, spider map, or tree. Don’t worry too much about choosing or staying within that model.
3. Sketch out a diagram with the central idea first, then add words, phrases, and people connected by lines and arrows.
