Why map an essay before you revise it

A mind map of your everyday is a gift essay works best when the thesis sits in the center and each supporting example branches out from it. Essays built on this idea usually move from a general claim about gratitude to specific moments, so a map makes that path easy to follow before you write or revise.

  • Central thesis placed at the top of the map
  • Supporting examples grouped under each main claim
  • Quotes from your text kept on their branch
  • Editable so you can reorder points before class
