Select one health-related behavior and complete module 2 Mind mapping slide (last slide in the file):
5 essential characteristics of a
Mind Map
• The main idea, subject or focus is crystallized in a
central image.
• The main themes radiate from the central image
as ‘branches’.
• The branches comprise a key image or key word
drawn or printed on its associated line.
• Topics of lesser importance are represented as
‘twigs’ of the relevant branch.
• The branches form a connected nodal structure.
Mindmaps can use words, images or colors to indicate ideas
