Graphic Organizer

Graphic Organizer: Directions 1. First, please view this video and read this article on goal making when learning a second language: 2. Using MindMup, in the app or website, create a graphic organizer or “Mind Map” of at least two goals you want to reach in your next opportunity to use Spanish. The two goals you make will become your “parent nodes.” These may be onesentence phrases such as, “Improve my accent” or “Improve my reading fluency.” 3. You will then create at least one way you will achieve each goal (these will be the “child nodes”). These may also be short-answer, yet specific to how you will achieve your goal. 4. You will also need to include at least one image or picture that best describes your personal goals. This may be clip art or even a picture of you during a time you achieved an important goal. 5. When you are finished, in the top right corner you will see where it says “Publish.” Click there and click “Publish for six months.” In the box that shows up next, you will then need to click the tab that says “Send links” and copy the link to send it to my email with your name and student number by the indicated due date. 6. I will ask that you work individually on this assignment, however, when you are finished you may compare with your peers and add any new goals you may realize you want to add that your peer has.

7. Please see my sample MindMap in order to get an idea of how it will look like. Please see me or email me without hesitation should you have any difficulties working the website.
