Great for PSAT prep, and just to view for writing enhancement!

*~No act of kindness, however small, is ever wasted~*

Have you been KIND today?

Go to randomactsofkindness.org (clicking the link above)


There, you'll be inspired by the number of wonderfully kind people in this world. If you do something nice, however small, leads on to a ripple effect. Remember the movie Pay It Foward? The main character worked out mathematically that if he helped three people, and then those three people helped three people each...well you get the point.

ODYSSEY Mind MAPS!


What is a Mind Map?

        A mind map is a graphical way to represent ideas and concepts. It is a visual thinking tool that helps structuring information, helping you to better analyze, comprehend, synthesize, recall and generate new ideas.
Just as in every great idea, its power lies in its simplicity.

In a mind map, as opposed to traditional note taking or a linear text, information is structured in a way that resembles much more closely how your brain actually works. Since it is an activity that is both analytical and artistic, it engages your brain in a much, much richer way, helping in all its cognitive functions. And, best of all, it is fun!
So, how does a mind map look like? Better than explaining is showing you an example.
