Mind mapping and brainstorming

'Quamplurimi et quam aptisimi" (As many as possible of the very best)



After the team building activities tomorrow, we have the what "Ails the PH?" brainstorming activity/mind mapping

XII. ACTIVITY 4 – OBSTACLE COURSE (CM Tristan/Anne)  - 40 minutes
XIII. ACTIVITY 5 – CHAOS (CM TRISTAN)   -   25 minutes
XIV. DINNER             --         8:00 PM
XV. RECAPITULATION OR DEBRIEFING:  Team Leader Dr. Suzette

XVI. What Ails PH Activity  -  after the team building

For this we need 5 cartolina of different colors, and 5 sets of 1 row of crayons.

1.  We will raffle the 9 topics for brainstorming



6.  What ails the world PH -   The group will brainstorm on what ails the world Philippines.  They will select from amongst the various general topics and list down priorities and plan of action (5W 1H)

      1.  Environment
      2.  Transportation
      3.  Energy
      4.  Urban town planning vs population growth
      5.  Food security
      6.  Health
      7.  Terrorism/religious wars
      8.  Poverty
      9  Employment/ofw/migration

2.  Then using Mind map methodology, the group members draw  branches  for the main topic so raffled.  MInd Maps by Tony Buzan

Why am I doing this ahead of time? To prepare for:

      1.  Preparing for Reflection Paper 1 due on Session 7 (the last session)

      2.  And AVP showcase, where your mission is new advocacy probably selected form 1 to 9, or even outside of this categories.  

      Since we were not able to do this yesterday, it may be too late for you to scrounge for your future love or passion.



3. The idea is to generate ideas that can be used by the student Leader as their advocacy for the showcase, from their brainstorming or that of other groups. What could be your passion as a leader outside the box, or when you retire? Or what do you really like doing, were it not for the need to survive?

  1. Mind mapping is new to me sir and I am thankful that you incorporated it in our leadership journey. After reading its definition and purpose, I am excited to learn more about brainstorming, plotting and organizing ideas and putting them into action. When there are many ideas to consider, we may not know how to prioritize and organize properly. And this activity will help us.

    Thank you Prof Jorge!
    God bless everyone!

    Hi prof! Just like Anne, mind mapping also sounds new to me. First time I heard about it last Friday. By doing a little research about it, mind mapping seems to be an interesting topic. Its benefits are quite impressive i.e. from a major or central idea, it will be surrounded by connected branches of related subtopics thereby facilitating better understanding of relationships and connection between concepts and ideas. Looking forward to this new learning. Thanks you Prof!
