Why an English mind map helps with reading and writing
Novels, poems, and grammar units all branch out from a few central ideas, and a map shows those links at a glance. An English mind map lets you see how a character's choices connect to a theme, or how a thesis is supported by evidence, before you start writing.
- Map themes, characters, and plot events from a novel
- Lay out thesis, evidence, and counterarguments for an essay
- Organize grammar rules and examples by part of speech
- Export to PDF on Plus, or study in the browser on Free

Edit and study

Frequently asked questions
How do I make a mind map for a novel's themes?
Start with the main theme as the central node, then add branches for each theme and attach the quotes or scenes that support it. Keeping each branch to one idea makes the map easier to review before a test.
What belongs on a mind map for English grammar?
Group the topic by category, such as parts of speech, clause types, and punctuation rules, and add one example sentence under each sub-point. Examples make the rules stick better than definitions alone.
Can I export my English mind map?
PDF export is part of the Plus plan at $99.90/year or $9.99/month, along with DOCX and Anki export. The Free plan lets you study maps in the browser but does not include exports.

No. You can start on the Free plan with 3 generations per month and no credit card. Students with a school email get 40% off paid plans.
