A mind map can be used for many different things: studying, visualization, organization or clarity. This one is for clarity of who you are and what you like to do. This will help guide you in the process of creating something that is meaningful to you.

Solo Work – 25 minutes

• Use the worksheet questions to make a mind map. Each question gets its own bubble.
• After,  review your mind map and identify similarities in your responses..
• Use different symbols or colors for these similarities (like using red for sports or stars for arts).
• Give a name to each group of similar answers and write them on the back of your paper.

Mix and Mingle (if in class) – 10 minutes

• Move around the room with classmates. After a bit of mingling around the room, gather in groups of 2-3.
• Check out someone else’s mind map in your group and write down a category you see. Discuss the similarities or interesting things that you learn about your classmates. Repeat this two more times.

Discussion (if at home) – 15 minutes

• Talk to two different people close to you and ask them to  identify interesting similarities or observations about your passions from your mind map.
• What do they think your main interests are?

Reflection – 15 minutes

• Highlight your top 3-5 passion groups.
• Post your mind map to this path so that others can see it.
• Leave comments on two other mind maps, finding what connects their passions with yours.

*Don’t forget to check back in and hear what others in your cohort have to say and respond to at least two posts!
