My Mind Mapping



I chose to do a mind map about Mister Seahorse by Eric Carle, because its such an interesting and fascinating as well for kids to learn about how different types of father fishes actually carries the eggs until it hatches. The reason why I chose this book is that not a lot of people, especially kids know for a fact that not only are the eggs are cared for by a parent, but surprisingly by the father. I really enjoy reading this book, because it features a watercolor illustrations, which I think it's so cool, because it kind of relates to the ocean life how it so colorful and is full of life. It's such an easy book to read and understand. I would recommend this book to all ages, especially for kids at the age of seven.

I chose this type of mind mapping because it is very easy to read and understand. It illustrates the beginning, middle, and the end of the story. It also provides the names and pictures of characters for students to see and relate with the story.

Using Gliffy to create my mind mapping is much easier than the other types of software that I tried using. Although you have to be familiar with all the components of the software, but other than that it's such an idealistic software to use. Its such an easy software for teachers and students to access and the best part, it's free!
