Write one of the themes in the middle of a sheet of paper. Circle it.
Write down the first word or phrase that comes to mind and circle it.
Draw a line connecting the second circle to the first.
Repeat. As you write and circle new words and phrases, draw lines
back to the last word, the central word, or other words that seem
connected. Don’t worry about how they’re connected
5.
When you’ve filled the page, cross out words and phrases that seem
irrelevant, and begin to impose some order by numbering individual
bubbles or clusters.

ideas shoot. The ones you numbered first are the ones that you
should focus on.

bring cameras

with appropriate images. Bring back to class for next
lesson. Repeat for another theme if you wish
