Academic writing mind maps to explore

The maps on this page bring different writing tasks into focus. Essay Terms looks at words used in assignment questions, while Planning an Assignment connects the question with critical thinking and presentation. For work with sources, APA Style covers reference details and Paraphrasing and Plagiarism looks at restating ideas and crediting authors.

Start with Essay Terms if you are trying to understand an assignment question. Its branches show what terms such as analyse and assess ask you to do. If you are planning a response, move on to Planning an Assignment, then look at Essay Structure for its introduction, main body and conclusion.

Revise with a map

Follow one branch at a time and connect it to the task you are working on. Return to a branch when you need a reminder. When you want to check your understanding, switch to a quiz on the Academic Writing unit page. Try a map that fits your next assignment.
