1, take out a piece of A4 white paper, which should be placed horizontally. Because the organization form of mind map is image+branch+keyword, the first-level branch can lead to the second-level branch, and the second-level branch can lead to the third-level branch, and so on, which exercises divergent thinking very much. Correcting the horizontal placement of the paper is also conducive to the expansion of the branches of the mind map to both sides, because there is more space on both sides of the paper.

2. Draw the center map. The central map is at the center of the mind map, attracting the visual focus. It is the central theme of mind mapping, accounting for most of mind mapping.

First of all, the principle of "1/9" should be followed in drawing the center map. Secondly, the central map should reflect the theme and central idea of this mind map. If you want to draw a central picture, it must be related to the theme. You can choose the image of the brain's first impression of the theme as the central image, or you can come up with several and choose the best one.

3. Draw the trunk. The backbone is the first-level branch of mind map, which is directly connected with the central map. Unit 5, Book 1, Grade 3 English is about food. Take eating as the central link.

The use of mind mapping:

1, improve memory ability: Mind mapping can significantly improve the possibility of memory by using elements such as colors, lines, keywords and images. It uses all the cortical skills of the brain to organize information in a way that is easy to understand and remember, so that information can be presented in a visual form and easily accepted and stored by the brain.

2. Stimulate learning interest: Drawing mind maps by hand can stimulate all levels of the brain, keep the brain alert, and thus become more proficient in the learning process. At the same time, the design of mind map is concise, with clear structure and distinct levels, which is convenient for organizing and managing information, thus contributing to improving learning efficiency.

3. Enhance the creativity of thinking: Mind mapping reflects people's creative thinking process, makes the thinking process visual and operational, and also strengthens creative thinking skills. Through the application of keywords and images, people can use all their associative abilities, thus increasing the possibility of memory.

4. Improve organizational ability: the drawing of mind map needs to refine and sort out key contents, which is helpful to improve organizational management level.

5. Promote communication and cooperation: Drawing and sharing mind maps can help people communicate and cooperate better. Different members of the same team can draw mind maps together to promote the enjoyment and understanding of information.
