When I first read the assignment to create a mind map, I thought it would be difficult to come up with that many unique terms. However; once I started, the flood gates opened! Doing a simple search with my generalized topic in mind, really helped to get me thinking in different ways. I felt that looking through the titles of the books as well as the descriptions, forcibly jogged my memory into conjuring up different off shoots from my topic of breast cancer.
When I started laying out my mind map, I did have a little bit of trouble putting everything into particular categories. Some of the terms were easy to decipher where they should go but others were slightly more ambiguous. One term that I had a hard time with is “multi-cultural aspects of breast cancer”. To me, that particular term doesn’t seem to mesh well with any others. As I started the organization process, I feel as though I have a firm grasp on what goes where and why.
This assignment helped me to see how narrow I can go with my research project. Although I feel as though I know basically what each unit will consist of, doing this project opened my eyes to other possibilities. Ultimately I believe that this will make for a much richer research paper.
