How to use a Dust of Snow mind map for class

A single sentence, eight lines, and a crow shaking snow loose: that is most of Frost's poem, and it is why a Dust of Snow mind map suits a close reading so well.

Start with the crow, the snow, and the hemlock tree as separate branches.
Compare the first four lines with the last four to map the shift in mood.
Add the eight-line, single-sentence form as its own branch.
Exporting files is a paid feature on Plus and Pro, while the free plan keeps maps in the browser.
