Memory Techniques Worksheet: Mind Maps
Memory tip (See how ideas link): Topic in the centre → big ideas on branches → details on twigs, each detail on the branch it belongs to. Good: one key word per branch, a colour for each branch, small doodles, lines that link ideas. Poor: long sentences, all in one colour, copying a whole page. Redraw it from memory, then compare with the original and add what you missed.
