Babel School in Taiwan

Another project by Zosia on Mind Map. This time it's a family tree of a Polish king, Mieszko II.  

A few days ago Zosia and I saw some interesting books on making notes. Today we searched the web for info about how to make the graph notes and we found a really neat software called iMindMap. http://www.thinkbuzan.com We immediately started using it to make notes on the chemistry lesson about air pollution.
