I- DEFINITIONS: Mind mapping is one of the best ways to capture your thoughts and bring them to life in visual form Beyond just note-taking, though, mind maps can help you become more creative, remember more, and solve problems more effectively Whether you're new to mind maps or just want a refresher, here's all you need to know about this technique What are mind maps? See the example of mind mapping download by : skknchat@gmail.com  A mind map is basically a diagram that connects information around a central subject I like to think of it like a tree, although it has more of a radial structure In any case, at the center is your main idea, say, poetry, and the branches are subtopics or related ideas, such as types of poetry, famous poets, and poetry publications Greater levels of detail branch out from there and branches can be linked together .II- WHY ARE MIND MAPS BETTER THAN TEXT NOTES? Mind maps can be more effective than other brainstorming and linear notetaking methods for a number of reasons:  It's a graphical tool that can incorporate words, images, numbers, and color, so it can be more memorable and enjoyable to create and review The combination of words and pictures is six times better for remembering information than words alone download by : skknchat@gmail.com  Mind maps link and group concepts together through natural associations This helps generate more ideas, find deeper meaning in your subject, and also prompt you to fill in more or find what you're missing  A mind map can at once give you an overview of a large subject while also holding large amounts of information  It's also a very intuitive way to organize your thoughts, since mind maps mimic the way our brains think—bouncing ideas off of each other, rather than thinking linearly  You can generate ideas very quickly with this technique and are encouraged to explore different creative pathways III THE ADVANTAGES OF USING MIND MAPPING TECHNIQUE IN TEACHING ENGLISH GRAMMAR AT HIGH SCHOOL DePorter and Hernacki (in Abdurrahman, 2008:172) describe that there are some advantages of using mind mapping technique, they are as follows; 1) Flexible Explaining something can be easy without confusing in add the material based on the mind mapping We can put the label and category of something based on our own opinion anywhere in the mind mapping 2) Concentrate on the Topic Getting the subtopics what we talk about with focus on the main ideas easily Keep focus on the keyword can help us to make it simple and it does not waste the time 3) Increasing Comprehension Using mind mapping can make easy in understanding the material Mind mapping is a simple think pattern so it is not make us confuse to understand what we have learned and easy to remember the material 4) Enjoyable download by : skknchat@gmail.com Imagination and creativity are unlimited in using mind mapping, so it can be funny to learn By using pictures and colours, it makes the brain enjoy and excited in thinking something what we want about the material IV- STEPS USING MIND MAPS IN TEACHING ENGLISH: 1.Start in the CENTRE of a blank page turned sideways Why? Because starting in the centre gives your Brain freedom to spread out in all directions and to express itself more freely and naturally 2.Use an IMAGE or PICTURE for your central idea Why? Because an image is worth a thousand words and helps you use your Imagination A central image is more interesting, keeps you focus, helps you concentrate, and gives your Brain more of a buzz! 3.Use COLOURS throughout Why? Because colours are as exciting to your Brain as are images Colour adds extra vibrancy and life to your Mind Map, adds tremendous energy to your Creative Thinking, and is fun! 4.CONNECT your MAIN BRANCHES to the central image and connect your second- and third-level branches to the first and second levels, etc Why? Because your Brain works by association It likes to link two (or three, or four) things together If you connect the branches, you will understand and remember a lot more easily 5.Make your branches CURVED rather than straight-lined Why? Because having nothing but straight lines is boring to your Brain Use ONE KEY WORD PER LINE Why? Because single key words give your Mind Map more power and flexibility 7.Use IMAGES throughout Why? Because each image, like the central image, is also worth a thousand words So if you have only 10 images in your Mind Map, it’s already the equal of 10,000 words of notes download by : skknchat@gmail.com After students finish making the mind maps , teachers can ask students to some following activities: - Report and explain the mind maps: Teacher asks representatives of each group to report, explain about the mind map that his/her group has set up This activity will bring them with a clear understanding of their knowledge and as a way to forge them to present in front of people, which helps them become more confident - Discuss, modify, complete the mind map: Teachers ask students to discuss, modify and edit to perfect the mind map The teacher will be the organigor who helps students develop mind map of problem - Consolidate knowledge with a mind map: Teachers give students a presentation, explanations of grammatical knowledge of lesson through a mind map by the one he or she prepared (drawing at the side panel or on the cover), or a mind map that students have just designed V- EXAMPLES: Example 1: [1]- UNIT 1: A day in the life of……… Part E : Language Focus Present simple tense T- Asks Ss to build a mind map with the key word : " THE PRESENT SIMPLE" T- elicits by givings questions: When you use the present simple tense?
