Class Experience

US Grade 3 - 6
Students will learn how to use the mind mapping technique to brainstorm ideas for any type of essay or writing assignment in a fun and interactive classroom environment. 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.

Learning Goals

The class will educate students how to create and document ideas for an essay. In doing so, students will learn how to create a framework of what their main ideas will be for an essay, therefore creating a framework of what their essay will look like.
