# Overview

In this section of the lesson, students will create their Mind Maps using the Mind Map Instructions they received earlier. Students will upload their maps to Padlet, participate in a virtual Gallery Walk of one another's maps, and give feedback to at least three peers. You may share this video with students for an example of how to use the tech tool Google Drawings to create a Mind Map. See below for an example of a Mind Map that was created with Google Drawings:

## Facilitator Notes

#### Asynchronous Instructions

Provide students with a list of what they need to address in their Mind Map. An example is provided in the student-facing instructions of the Extend section. Students may use a tech tool of their choosing to create the Mind Map, or they may draw their maps by hand and then photograph, upload, and submit them. Provide a link to a class Padlet so students can share their maps with one another and give feedback to their peers.

## Tech Integration

To facilitate the Extend activity, a Padlet stream will need to be created.

To learn how to create and share a Padlet, view the Padlet tutorials.

*Note the recommended posting settings.

Recommended Padlet title, description and settings for this activity:

- Format: Stream
- Title: Natural Selection Mind Map Presentations
- Description: Add your Mind Map to the stream, view your peers’ maps, and leave feedback on three maps that don’t already have three or more feedback notes.
- Attribution: If the attribution option is not enabled in the Padlet settings, instruct students to:

- Enter your name as the title of your post.

- Settings: Enable comments in the Padlet settings. This will allow students to comment on posts made by their peers.

Once the Padlet has been created, share the Padlet in the Mind Map activity. Insert a link to the Padlet in Step 4 of the Mind Map activity.
