Mind Mapping Writing Skills 12th class Maharashtra State Board
Mind Mapping is the activity that asks in the 12th class of Maharashtra State Board for the 3 marks in Question No. 2. C.
Mind Mapping is the writing Skills Activity where students elaborate their ideas, thoughts, and concepts on a particular topic. In this activity, students think differently about their views and they make a plan or map in their mind and show in different types of style/design in graphical representation. In this activity, the students develop their creativity and represent their minds/ thoughts in innovative graphic representation.
What is Mind Mapping?
- Complete a similar type of detailed graphical figure in your own style showing the thoughts/ideas/concepts that keep on generating in your mind and then you choose a particular style/design or a graphical representation to describe the same idea/facts/situations-then this type of presentation can be called ‘Mind Mapping.’
- Use different shapes, arrows, lines, connectors, balloons, boxes, curved arrows, callouts, scribbles, scrolls, explosions, etc. to describe your point of view.
- A mind mapping is a diagram used to visually organize information. A mind map is hierarchical and shows relationships among pieces of the whole.
- Mind Mapping is often created around a single concept, drawn as an image in the center of a blank page, to which associated representations of ideas such as images, words, and parts of words are added. Major ideas are connected directly to the central concept, and other ideas branch out from those.

| Enhance Activities with Mind Mapping |
| 1 | Explore new ideas and concepts | Help students get a better understanding of new ideas by having them create a mind map. A mind map can assist with understanding because it conveys hierarchy and relationships, allowing students to see the big picture. |
| 2 | Brainstorm | Get creative juices flowing with mind mapping. Mind maps are a great brainstorming tool and can help students let their thoughts flow freely while making important connections between ideas and concepts. |
| 3 | Take Notes | Encourage students to engage in active thinking instead of transcription by using mind maps for note taking. Mind maps encourage students to focus on keywords and ideas instead of just writing down what the teacher says. |
| 4 | Write essays | Students can create an essay outline, gather arguments and quotes or brainstorm ideas for your essays with mind maps. |
| 5 | Memorize information | Mind maps activate many levels of brain activity and are a great tool to help with memorization — from vocabulary words to a foreign language. |
| 6 | Create presentations | Have students use mind maps to present information in an interesting and engaging way with mind maps. Students can use mind mapping software to create a presentation in advance or create one on the spot during a live presentation. |
| 7 | Study for an assessment | Mind maps are a great way for students to gather all the information that may be covered on an examination including class notes, textbook chapters and reading lists. |
| 8 | Execute group projects | By using a mind map, students can visualize what needs to be done and who needs to do it. Using an online mind mapping programme is best for group projects so students can easily share it. |
