Show connections between a central idea, major branches and examples. This worked guide uses a small reproducible example so you can check the result before adapting it to your own task.
시작하기 전에
- A blank page or drawing tool
- One topic
단계별 안내
Write the central topic
Place a short topic name in the center. Keep it specific enough that the map can fit on one page.
Add a few main branches
Draw branches for the major parts of the topic. Use short labels rather than full paragraphs.
Add examples and details
Place smaller branches under the relevant main branch. Use one example or keyword per branch so relationships remain visible.
Check the connections
Read from the center outward. Move misplaced details and add a linking line only when it explains a meaningful connection.
Use the map to explain the topic
Cover some labels and try to reconstruct them, or talk through the map in order. Revise sections that do not make sense when explained.
도움말 및 문제 해결
- Do not spend more time on decoration than on the relationships.
- Split an overcrowded branch into a separate map.
