Writing Made Easy by Mind Mapping I started teaching the idea of mind mapping to my oldest two children recently. They're at the stage where they are reading quite a volume of books and I want to get them to comprehending what they're reading. I want them to start to produce book reports or oral presentations. However, if they try, they sometimes come across that age old problem of looking at a blank little bit of paper and are not quite sure how to get started and how they'll fill the page. The thing is that they are attempting to start without the structure. It is easy to get paralyzed just wondering the way to get to the end of a full page or two without a plan. Let me help them start off on the right foot and consider their subject instead of thinking about what seems like the daunting nature of the duty at hand. I had already shown them the concept of an overview and talked to them concerning the structure of a five paragraph report. This very traditional structure comes with an introductory paragraph, three details about your subject, and a conclusion. However when you're discovering the material to fill the report, you're still drawing a blank especially when you try to think about the order that you want to cover your points simultaneously that you are trying to generate them. Since the time I was raised, there are several new skills that make the process a lot easier. I explained to them that I take advantage of mind maps at the start of the process of organizing my thoughts. Mind mapping has less structured than an outline but it is not quite as free-form as brainstorming. I find that brainstorming will not give enough direction and I don't believe that is very conducive to the way that people think. I find it much easier to produce a mind map as soon as the mind map is performed, prioritize the nodes within the mind map to produce an overview. Once I have an outline I'm ready to start my article. I believe that one of the easiest ways to create the article from this point would be to pretend that I'm talking to someone who doesn't find out about the subject that I'm presenting. I approach it in a conversational style. Or if my imaginary audience is familiar with the subject i quickly am likely to be telling them about new details or new information regarding that subject. Once I've an idea of how to approach this in a conversational style, I could utilize the mind map as helpful information to generating a written report. At this point it really is probably a good idea to define what mind mapping happens to be. A mind map is started with a central topic and it is put in a circle in the center of a bit of paper. Alternatively, software can be used to build the mind map. Lines are extended from the primary circle to produce a new node for every proven fact that branches from that main idea. The branches can go off in any direction, it generally does not really matter at this time. The ideas that go in nodes also go within circles. A fresh node could be generated one for just about any idea that is associated with the topic. This is the section of my mapping that's closest to brainstorming. There are also sub-nodes that can be added to each node in the mind map. This will break that node into more detail. This will be done in somewhat of a free format, rapid manner. Once all the topics are listed on a mind map, the nodes can be reviewed and filtered out if they don't really belong there. The nodes can also be prioritized. They might be numbered in order worth focusing on or in the order that they will be covered in the report or presentation. On paper, this can be done by simply writing numbers on each of the main nodes. Now that the nodes come in order, this process may also be applied to the sub-nodes. Once AI Mind Mapping is done, your brain map can easily transferred to an outline. When I create a mind map, what I normally do next is record myself talking about the subjects in the order that I've chosen on my Music player. I imagine that I'm speaking to someone about this subject. It could take a few takes to have a clean recording without pauses. Each recording gets just a little easier. Once I have a recording that I am happy with, I use software applications that translates speech to text to transcribe this article into a word processor. I pay attention to the recordings with my headphones and repeat it right into a microphone with the program running. Once I've my document, I can edit it the way I would edit any other document that I would write. If I desire to go on it a step further, I could now browse the edited document out loud with a microphone and record it in audio format on my computer so I can have it in multiple formats.
