The document discusses integrating mind mapping into the English classroom. It covers using mind mapping for memorizing vocabulary, reading comprehension, and writing. For reading, mind maps can be used for pre-reading activities like brainstorming and while-reading activities like semantic maps or graphic organizers to organize information. Specific examples are given from the textbook "Joy" to illustrate how mind maps can be created for different units and chapters.

10. About Reading… Bottom-up v.s. Top-down A combination of top-down and bottom-up processing, or what has come to be called interactive reading, is almost always a primary ingredient in successful teaching methodology because both processes are important. (Brown, Teaching by Principles ) In practice, a reader continually shifts from one focus to another, now adopting a top-down approach to predict probable meaning, then moving to the bottom-up approach to check whether that is really what the writer says. (Nuttall, 1996, p.17)

11. Pre-reading Activities Activate background knowledge/ schema/ prior knowledge A reader will rely on knowledge about a known topic to sort out word meaning; conversely, a reader who has a mastery of the text’s vocabulary but is unfamiliar with the topic will rely on word knowledge in order to comprehend a text. (Mikulecky, What is Reading? )

12. Brainstorming- Webbing

13. While-reading activities- semantic map/graphic organizer Readers can easily be overwhelmed by a long string of ideas of events. The strategy of semantic mapping, or grouping ideas into meaningful clusters, helps the reader to provide some order to the chaos. ( Brown, Teaching by Principles )
