Throughout the lessons in Heart of Wisdom's curriculum,
you'll see the word mindmapping. Mindmaps (or concept maps) are a
convenient way of organizing notes and thoughts about a topic. Your
student can use maps in brainstorming and planning - to help them grasp
and expand learned concepts. Mindmapping is a nonlinear activity that
generates ideas, images and feelings around a stimulus word. As
students cluster, their thoughts tumble out, enlarging their word bank
for writing and often enabling them to see patterns in their ideas.
