The class is structured to enable students to video chat and write with the teacher and will include exercises to practice mind mapping to learn firsthand. During the first 5 minutes of class, the teacher will build a rapport with students and briefly discuss the course material. The next 25 minutes of class will be dedicated to discussing what a mind map is, how to create one, and how to choose which ideas to select. The next 5-10 minutes will allow students to create their own mind maps. The final 5-10 minutes of class will be dedicated to reviewing and wrapping up the lesson with any questions that students may have.
