Before I read an article using a mind map I will create a folder and place several mind maps. A theme name as the core, contains all the intellectual content, that is, you think and read all the contents of the process, of course, said a guide map, but if it contains more content can be broken down into several documents; the second is the theme to read the full picture of the research document, in this document does not contain any intellectual content, its main role is to set out the purpose of the study, tools, steps, problems, ideas and so on. Miscellaneous, this is recommended to use a single document is better.
For the second document, tentatively called the "task document", do very simple, I will generally contain research purposes, goals, personal status, self-examination, bibliographic scope, blog writing, of course, without a very important branch: miscellaneous! This is something that can't be done all at once, just add in whatever comes to mind at any given time! It's to give you a full picture to help you read on the topic, so you don't miss anything, just follow your habits and you'll be Ok!
1, determine the theme of the steps
With the mind map to do brainstorming, you can think of all the questions entered into the mind map, individuals in this step in general will not do the division of branches, because the theme to this time and not finalized, the center of gravity is not likely to be reflected. In addition, it is very important to ask questions about your own situation, or that: reading is about making a difference, everything is about you!
2, organize the general framework
Generally speaking, I will choose two or three books in a pile of thematic reading as the focus of the framework. For example, "talk about reading series" first study "detonation of learning power", according to the framework of the book to build their own framework for this topic. In fact, this step is very similar to reading a single book for analysis, but in the theme of reading this is just the beginning. Save this file for later review.
The previous article mentioned that the theme of reading a very important step is to "determine and the author **** common vocabulary", in this step of the production of the mind map, we will begin to implement! Currently you have in hand in the mind map of all the vocabulary is based on the books you have read to determine, rather than your own heart or customary use of the vocabulary, change them over, of course, you can also directly accept these words, they are defined as your future use of vocabulary. It is important to emphasize that if you use the words in the book you have read as the focus of your future reading on the topic, it is important to be clear about what they mean, and to be aware of any changes in the meaning of the words as you read on.
