Thing #14

Making flow charts and mind maps is a fun and easy way to lay out your ideas so that they are easier to understand and follow. If you are like me, I have a million ideas running through my brain at once and its difficult to begin a paper or project without brainstorming first. Both sites that I used to create my charts make exporting files simple also.

I chose Gliffy to make my flowchart. It made the template for me, and all I needed to do was change the words and legend. Flowcharts help find a solution to a problem or question. I made a flow chart that would be relevant to my 12th grade English class for the standard I chose.

For the mind map, I chose the website bubbl.us. I made a brainstorming sheet for Chaucer which is an author that 12th graders cover. Mind maps are more for organizing a paper or making an outline of notes. Bubbl.us makes terms and directions easy to understand so making this mind map was quick.
