Mind mapping

Mind maps are a great way of linking ideas. They are a useful tool for visual learners and are brilliant for revision too. Recently I have been using them to show progress in a lesson. Pupils draw a mind map at the start of a lesson to show what they already know and then at the end of the lesson pupils add what they now know in a different colour.
