16. BRAIN A wrinkled, pinkish-grayThe human brain is a complex organ that weighs about 3 pounds organ that is primarily composed of fat and water .

17. THREE MAJOR PARTS OF BRAIN Cerebrum Cerebellum Brain stem

18. CEREBRUM Contains the cerebral cortex and is the largest segment of the brain. The cerebrum is the largest of the three brain sections, accounts for about 85 percent of the brain’s weight, and has four lobes.

19. FOUR LOBES Frontal Parietal Temporal Occipital

20. FRONTAL Determines personality and emotions

21. PARIETAL Helps to understand what they see and feel.

22. OCCIPITAL Vision functions.

23. TEMPORAL Hearing and word recognition.

24. CEREBELLUM That region controls voluntary movement. When you want to lift your fork, wave your hand, brush your hair or wink at a cutie, you form the thought and then an area in the cerebellum translates your will into action.

25. BRAIN STEM Connects the spinal cord and the brain.It controls functions that keep people alive such as breathing, heart rate, blood pressure and food digestion. Those activities occur w/out any thought. You aren’t telling yourself, Inhale. Exhale. Inhale. “ You’re just breathing.

26. TWO HALVES OF THE BRAIN OR WAYS OF THINKING RIGHT BRAIN – non-verbal thinking is often regarded more ‘creative’, there is no right or wrong here; it is merely two different ways of thinking LEFT BRAIN- is verbal and analytical. The best illustration of this is to listen to people give directions.

27. LEFT BRAIN (Logical, Judging, Evaluating) RIGHT BRAIN (Creative, Idea-generating) Deals with: Language Logic Linerity(step by step process) Numbers and sequence Analysis Science and Math Written Number skills Right-hand control Deals with: Images, Imagination Colors, geometry Pattern, face and map Recognition Rhythm, music Dimension, Parallel Processing Music awareness 3-D forms Left-hand control

28. MIND MAPPING is a graphical technique of recording that employs the right brain or the artistic side of the brain to improve the ability to process information and answer questions. Is also known as “branching,”

29. “clustering”, and “radiant thinking.” Is an illustration that utilizes ideas, words, concepts, opinions, ideas, and the like. Invented by Tony Buzan.

30. HOW TO MAKE A MIND MAP? Put central theme or concept in th center, bottom, or top of the page, and draw a circle around it. Place the main ideas relating to the concept on lines(or in circles) around the central theme. Add details by putting them on lines(or in circles)connecting them to the main ideas.

31. 4. Use key words or simple pictures only; keep it legible. 5. Make sure no idea stands alone,If you can’t connect an idea with something on the page, it’s irrelevant to the central theme. 6. Don’t allow yourself to slow down over concerns about where to place words(this is your left brain habits to trying to dominate).Rather, let your ideas flow,and use lines to show connections.

32. 7. Use colors to highlight most important ideas. 8. Once you’ve completed your mind map, get in touch with your left brain talents(judging and evaluating)and evaluate what you’ve produced.

33. GROUP WORK Group yourself into the group of cleaners. Choose one of the concepts below and create a mind-map, following the instructions discussed on Deepening, under “ Eight steps for mind-mapping to improvel critical thinking.
