Mind mapping is a very effective method to extract and memorize information . They are a logical and creative way of taking notes and ideas which is literally a map of thoughts on a topic.
All mind maps have common elements. They have a radial organizational structure from a nucleus in which lines , symbols, words , colors and images illustrate simple and logical concepts.
To better understand what a mind map is, imagine the map of a city . The city center is the main idea, the main avenues leading to the center represent the key thoughts of the mental process , the smaller side streets represent the thoughts, etc. . Pictures or special forms may represent particularly important landmarks or ideas.
The mind map is the external mirror that reflects your thoughts using a graphic process, which provides the universal key to unlock the dynamic potential of the brain.
Some links to software and online web pages to create mind maps

Take a look at the beautiful poem written by Mexican American author, Gary Soto
OrangesBy: Gary Soto
The first time I walked
With a girl, I was twelve,
Cold, and weighted down
With two oranges in my jacket.
December. Frost cracking
Beneath my steps, my breath
Before me, then gone,
As I walked toward
Her house, the one whose
Porch light burned yellow
Night and day, in any weather.
A dog barked at me, until
She came out pulling
At her gloves, face bright
With rouge. I smiled,
Touched her shoulder, and led
Her down the street, across
A used car lot and a line
Of newly planted trees,
Until we were breathing
Before a drugstore. We
Entered, the tiny bell
Bringing a saleslady
Down a narrow aisle of goods.
I turned to the candies
Tiered like bleachers,
And asked what she wanted -
Light in her eyes, a smile
Starting at the corners
Of her mouth. I fingered
A nickle in my pocket,
And when she lifted a chocolate
That cost a dime,
I didn't say anything.
I took the nickle from
My pocket, then an orange,
And set them quietly on
The counter. When I looked up,
The lady's eyes met mine,
And held them, knowing
Very well what it was all
About.
Outside,
A few cars hissing past,
Fog hanging like old
Coats between the trees.
I took my girl's hand
In mine for two blocks,
Then released it to let
Her unwrap the chocolate.
I peeled my orange
That was so bright against
The gray of December
That, from some distance,
Someone might have thought
I was making a fire in my hands.
