I just read the article on outlining vs. mind mapping for essay structure https://cyprus-mail.com/2024/07/26/compare-and-contrast-outlining-vs-mind-mapping-for-essay-structure/, and it was really insightful! As a student, I’ve mostly used outlines to plan my essays, but this article made me realize the value of mind mapping for brainstorming. I liked how it explained that outlines help keep ideas organized in a linear way, while mind maps encourage creativity by connecting ideas visually.
