I particularly created my mind map showcasing different subjects that I would be interested in. That I would consider fun for my essay. I used Canva to put it together and like the collage from our last assignment, this was fun working on. I like putting this together because of the liberty I have to choose the format I want to use and the subjects I would want to research.
Using this mind map I separated each subject I would write about, and under it, I added some information as to where the course of my writing will go. I picked subjects that I feel that are gripping for the audience, and that would keep me interested all the way to finishing my essay. All the subject I am debating between are linked to social media and I wanted to do it this way since I believe that we are all attached to it somehow.
using this mind map helped me to put all of my ideas into the sheet so that I don’t forget any and that I can do deep research about each, and come to my conclusion. I am the kind of person who forgets most things if I don’t have them written down so this was a really helpful activity.
I like how your mind map is very easy to follow and well organized. Canva templates are usually aesthetic and structured well.
I agree that using a mind map can help store information quickly that otherwise may be forgotten and it can be done in an organized way.
I also found your topic of social media to be interesting and hope you continue to investigate it for your rhetorical analysis 🙂
This is fantastic, Maylin. I’m glad you found an opportunity to map out your thinking and fix it to the page. When you turn now to write the analysis paper, you can utilize these organizing principles to format and draft individual paragraphs. Segmenting the process in this way can lower the stakes of writing a formal analysis paper, and it compartmentalizes your argument so you can see it all at once. So, great work!!
I like the style of the mind-map. With the black circle highlighting the central topic and the alternating colored post its showing the sub-points. It also kind of reminds me of the game Cards Against Humanity funny enough, with the text being at the top of the card relating to the main point.
