Creating a mind map
A mind map is created around a specific topic or word, from which different categories are attached. The objective of mind maps is to establish different relationships among words or concepts by creating branches and sub-branches that follow a hierarchy.
During this week, we are going to create a mind map about Occupational Therapy. It is important, first, to identify the most relevant ideas you want to include, and then think about the best categorization scheme.
