I have so much more random thoughts in my brain than I ever thought. For those readers who don’t know what a mind map is I’ll explain. Basically it is a creativity tool where you write down your paths of thought. You start with one word or concept and branch into either three or four sub topics that relate to the first word. For example my main topic was bar and I diverged into Soap, Candy, Pub and Exam. From there you keep making branches from each word until your page is full and you have this jumbled web or words. It was actually really exciting to see where my mind would take me. It taught me that I know many more words than I think, and that I am capable of creating some rather cleaver connections and ideas.
P.S. while discussing this project with my best friend we came up with a really good question. In class everyone had different main topic words – But I think it would be interesting to see if everyone had the same word if our minds would diverge the same way or differently. Part of me wants to say that they would be similar – but at the same time looking at my mind map seems to be very unique to me. I think this would be an awesome experiment that I will definitely need to try someday.
