Description

The article's planning routine places "the main idea at the centre of the paper, and sub ideas are placed below the main idea by organising them hierarchically using shapes, images, codes, symbols and keywords". Learners generate sub-themes under a main theme, list tasks per sub-theme, and structure planning around the questions Why, What, Who, When, Where and How. The instructor reviews each mind map against criteria (developing main idea, connections between ideas, unique visuals, consistency with task process) and gives feedback the following week.
