review-august 2nd

Review of  august 2nd session
The session started with a VISUAL ASSOSIATION activity which was very nice. Some concepts were  abstract but the KEY is that we were associating things which are far from one another. While THINKING we make more & more ASSOCIATION and that's LEARNING.
MIND MAP: it's the one which our mind likes since it is a pictorial representation which contains   *LINKS
               *PICTURES
               *COLOURS
               *KEY WORDS
               *PATTERNS
Mind maps are open. It can be expanded any time.
            The concept of "How to Read a Book" using SQ3R formula is helpful.
S – Survey
Q – Questions (mind map)
R – Read Interactively
R – Recite
R – Review 
Since there is time constraint, we can spend the time optimally while reading a book.
            I learnt many thinking skills.
1.Comparing (we explore more)
2. Classifying
3. Abstraction (focus on what is the core idea)
4. Induction
5. Deductive Thinking (using fish bone diagram)
6. Construct support
Writing the mind map of life on another planet was exciting. From that, I learnt that with the help of a mind map, it's easy to learn & remember any topic.
