Mind maps

Projects are on our minds at the moment! I am just final checking my IB2 projects before submitting marks and just starting my projects with IB1s. this year I have been really happy with the build up to that and really feel like students have a good handle on how to choose good themes. I have more to say about this, which I will put on the  Internal Assessment ​section! Essentially though, the build up results in the production of three 'Mind maps' about project ideas that show the theme, the information and the potential for different analysis. It seems simple, but it has been really effective. Students are asked to produce three of them and then I will help them choose the one with the most potential. Like I said, there is much more to say about this, but for now - which of these ideas would you encourage your students to pursue?
