Mind map is a process necessary for the creation of good/solid story ideas.
We'll do mind map in class, but you must also develop one of your own and come up with a story plot.
The goal of this exercise is to learn about thought process, brainstorming, words association and variety of items (quality not quantity)
Starting from a single word brainstorm more words by associations/meaning. Select some of the words that you feel are more interesting and brainstorm them more. Until all the words become more and more connected in a string of thoughts, a clear plot or a well defined character.
You may need to do several mind maps for locations, characters, conflicts and so on.
