C- Mind Mapping
Mind Mapping अपने विचारों को प्रस्तुत करने का एक आसान तरीका है। इसमें किसी जानकारी को दिमाग से सोचकर या मन की आँखों से देखकर लिखित रूप में लाया जाता है।
इसके लिए आपको एक आरेख (Diagram) दिया जाता है जिसके केन्द्र में एक ऐसा ‘शब्द’ होता है जिससे बहुत कुछ जुड़ा होता है। आपको उससे जुड़ी जानकारी को जुटा कर (लिखकर) आरेख पूरा करना होता है। इसमें किसी क्रम को ध्यान में नहीं रखा जाता।
उदाहरण के लिए हम ‘School’ शब्द लेते हैं। School से जुड़ी हर वस्तु इस आरेख को पूरा कर सकती है; जैसेLibrary, Playground, Classrooms, Garden, Staff room, Science room etc.
