And then...
Step Six
Show me a completed rough draft and I'll give you butcher paper and markers.
Step Five
Step Four
Select 9 quotes (3 per character) that demonstrate the effects of nature on the three characters, Robert Walton, Victor Frankenstein, and the Creature. Be cognizant of placement of the quotes. Use MLA format to cite each.
Print your key words on the branches. Printing is easier to read and remember than writing. Print one key word per branch. By doing this, you free yourself to discover the maximum number of creative associations for each key word. The discipline of one word per branch also trains you to focus on the most appropriate word, enhancing the precision of your thought and minimizing clutter.
Make the length of each key word the same as the line on which it sits. This maximizes clarity of association and encourages economy of space.
Step Two
Write down key words. Key words are the information-rich “nuggets” of recall and creative association.
Step Seven
Step Three
Connect the key words with lines (branches) to show clearly how one key word relates to another.
Use colors, pictures, dimension, and codes for greater association and emphasis. Highlight important points and illustrate relationships between different branches on your mind map. You might, for instance, prioritize your main points through color coding, highlighting in yellow the most important points, using blue for secondary points, and so forth. Pictures and images, preferably vivid in color, should be used whenever possible; they stimulate your creative association and greatly enhance your memory.

Mind Mapping
Step One
Begin your mind map with a symbol or picture (representing the three characters) at the center of your paper. Starting at the center opens your mind to a full 360 degrees of association. Pictures and symbols are much easier to remember than words and enhance your ability to think creatively about your subject.
