Mind Mapping
Mapping Your Way to Authentic Stories
Author and educator Rob Sanders will reveal how mind mapping can lead to both story ideas and ways to present stories that engage readers. Then he’ll take you on a mind-mapping journey to discover stories that only you can tell. You’ll have the opportunity to take one of those ideas and bring it to life through a guided writing exercise.
Recommended supplies for this session: Large paper, pencil or pen, and highlighters or colored pencils in three or four different colors.
