Week 6:We are Poet!

Now, we have chances to create poetry.

Lecturer gave us a picture with a word, and we can use the outlook, taste, feature or anything about it to combine with the word.

I just made short sentences…

 

1) Love  vs  Chili

Love is like chili.

You will try when you see that much,

You will cry when you eat too much.

 

2) Life  vs  Sport Car

Life is like a sport car.

Hard to get, fast to use up.

 

3) Man/Woman  vs  Garbage

Man is garbage.

They will listen whatever you say although is boring,

Eat whatever you cook no matter how unsavory. :)

 

4) Pain  vs  Ice cream

When you see Ice cream, you feel pain.

Sweet enough make you toothache,

Cold enough make you brain freeze,

Cream enough make you fat.

 

5) Happiness  vs  Time

When I feel happy, I feel old too.

Time flew away when happiness.

Mind Map

Today we learn about what mind map is.

MIND: Follow your mind, not your heart.

MAPPING: Process of representation, exploration and establishing idea/concept or information on ‘paper’.

MIND MAPPING (introduce by Tony Buzan)

  • A technique of generating idea and brainstorming.
  • A tools that allows you to put info into your brain and retrieve when need it.

2 types of Mind Mapping: Logical Mind Map & Associated Mind Map

Logical Mind Map:

  • concise way of listing & categorizing mass info.
  • usage of images along words create interest
  • relationship between words help trigger memories & reduce amount of note.

Rules of Logical Mind Mapping

  • always have subject in the center of the page.
  • more dominant than rest of words.
  • different categories, colors, make it easier identify
  • decide main categories

 

Although most of us have done a lot mind map way back in Alpha year, we not really know there are 2 types of mind mapping.

As idea from Logical Mind Map is stereotype and not new,

we need to get far away from the original word by using Associated Mind Map.

So today, funny Lecturer used Mortal & Pestle to show us how to get away from stereotype.

mortal pestleStone>Heavy>Expensive>Girls>Trouble>?

Because from one word can link to a word that looks non related making Associated Mind Map fun!
