it

comes

to

teaching

and

learning，pictures

play

an

important

role

in

making

things

simple.

Thinking

maps

have

been

proved

to

be

a

useful

tool

for

students

and

teachers

at

all

grades.

Thinking

maps

make

meaningful

learning

possible

as

they

help

organize

ideas

and

information

in

a

way

that

is

easy

to

understand.

They

can

be

very

useful

during

creative

thinking

exercises.

Here

are

four

types

of

thinking

maps

and

ways

to

use

them.

The

bubble

map

is

used

to

describe

a

subject

using

adjectives.

Bubble

maps

can

be

very

useful

when

analyzing

（分析）

a

character

from

a

novel

or

story，introducing

new

lessons

to

the

class，etc.

The

brace

map

is

used

to

show

the

units

of

an

object

or

event.

For

example，the

parts

of

a

car.

It

shouldn't

be

used

for

something

abstract

（抽象的）

like

an

idea，which

cannot

be

easily

separated.

The

circle

map

is

a

tool

that

is

used

to

describe

something

or

express

understanding

of

a

topic.

It's

a

great

tool

for

both

personal

and

group

brainstorming

activities.

People

can

write

down

a

topic

in

the

central

circle.

Around

the

topic

are

facts

or

ideas.

Inside

the

square

are

ways

to

collect

more

information.

The

flow

map

represents

the

flow

of

something.

It

can

be

used

to

organize

information

in

a

proper

order，list

steps

of

an

event

and

find

patterns

（模式）.

The

flow

map

includes

a

series

of

boxes

which

are

connected

by

arrows

（箭头）.

Pictures

can

also

be

used

instead

of

boxes

to

show

the

order.
