There is also this video to watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PFZqhdevg9s You could write each fact on a different piece of paper, then group them so that it is easier to display these facts on a mind map.
You can decide what title should be on each branch but if you are not sure there is a mind map saved in the files below called 2 Monday mind map which you could either copy or print out.
