Brainstorming is an open-ended approach to exploring a topic by generating many ideas and building off each other's thoughts. Concept mapping takes brainstorming further by visually organizing the relationships between key concepts, with the central topic or theme in the center and related sub-topics branching out. There are different types of concept maps like spider maps that radiate from the center and hierarchical maps that arrange information in descending order of importance. Both brainstorming and concept mapping can help reflect on a topic and identify what is known and unknown.

Mind Mapping: What is it? by MindProject
Mind mapping is a graphic technique developed by Tony Buzan to organize ideas and concepts generated by both hemispheres of the brain in a radial, graphical format. It represents ideas as a central concept with associated thoughts branching out, allowing for creativity and organization. Mind maps can be used to take notes, solve problems, plan projects, and get the most out of the brain's computing power by allowing free association between concepts. An example mind map shows how to take the technique to visualize an individual's online identity across various social media platforms.
What is Mind Mapping? (English Version)
Mind mapping is a graphic technique developed by Tony Buzan to organize ideas and concepts generated by both hemispheres of the brain in a visual way. It involves starting with a central concept or idea and radiating associated thoughts, words and images around it as branches in a nonlinear format. Mind maps allow for creativity in organizing large amounts of information and can be used for note-taking, problem-solving, planning projects and optimizing brainstorming sessions by harnessing the full power of human cognition. An example mind map by Philippe Boukobza visually organizes and links his various social media identities online in an effective representation of the technique.

Topics thesis statements
This document provides guidance on developing a thesis statement or research question for a writing assignment. It explains that instructors may provide topics or allow students to choose their own. For instructor-provided topics, it is important to stay within the requirements. Good topics are researchable and of interest to the student. Developing a working thesis or research question helps narrow a broad topic. Questions can be factual, seeking known information, or more complex, requiring in-depth research. A thesis statement takes a position while a research question asks an open-ended question. The document provides examples and guidelines for developing strong thesis statements and research questions.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Brainstormingconceptmaps
- 1. Concept Mapping Brainstorming and concept mapping
- 2. Brainstorming and Concept Mapping Brainstorming is a way to approach a topic, and one increasingly taught in college courses It’s basis is an open-ended approach to finding your way through a topic
- 3. Brainstorming Brainstorming is more informal than a Concept Map (we see that in a minute) but more ordered than a group talking:
- 4. Brainstorming Brainstorming works by focusing on a problem, and then deliberately coming up with as many solutions as possible and by pushing the ideas as far as possible. A reason it is so effective is that the brainstormers not only come up with new ideas in a session, but gain from associations with other people's ideas by developing and refining them. http://www.nwlink.com/~donclark/perform/brainstorm .html
- 5. Begin with Single Topic
- 6. Keep Developing Your Map Brainstorm ideas or issues or concepts related to "pet therapy" and add them to the map: Now add another layer of ideas related to these
- 7. Keep adding keywords until you have relevant keywords around each of your subtopics: **from http://library.humboldt.edu/researchroadmap/topics/topic03a.html
- 8. Concept Maps A concept map presents the relationships among a set of connected concepts and ideas. It is a tangible way to display how your mind sees a particular topic. By constructing a concept map, you reflect on what you know and what you don't know. http://www.udel.edu/chem/white/teaching/ConceptM ap.html
- 9. Format for Concept Map [Spider]
- 11. Concept Map Types - Spider Spider Map (The"spider" concept map is organized by placing the central theme or unifying factor in the center of the map. Outwardly radiating sub- themes surround the center of the map.
- 12. Concept Map Types - Hierarchical Hierachical (The hierarchy concept map presents information in a descending order of importance. The most important information is placed on the top.
