Mind Map

For the mind map, I focused on the problem of what I was going to do this summer. For the first mind map, I focused on the many different options I have available for myself and the ones I was excited to go on. When I was trying to focus on what I wanted to try and make a mind map again, I could not settle on what I wanted mind map about. Over the summer, I do not have many plans and I am often very bored. I wanted to try and map out what were the things I could do and will do, and which one has the best ways for me to enjoy my summer.I used the mind maps as a way for me to be able to see all of my options this summer and to try and choose the best one.

My AHA moment really came when I realized which mind map to draw, as I realized what kind of theme I could go for and how to be able to build off that theme. My mother lives in Indiana, and I decided that I wanted to try and draw the state of Indiana because I thought it was really cool when I went there.

If I had to change something about it it would be the position of the branch about what I plan on doing out with my mother. I left quite a lot of white space in the lower left, that I could have used more effectively. I showed my mind maps to my friend Aero and they thought that the mind map really showed that I had a number of options. I liked some of the drawings I did, including the one in the middle featuring the state of Indiana. I tried to color it based off a satellite map of Indiana, and i also marked the location of Fort Wayne and Indianapolis as they are places I might go when I see my mother.
