If you could interview Goldilocks and the three bears, what would you ask? Check out the mind map and add a few bubbles to show what you have in mind. Then, grab a new sheet of paper and make a mind map about a book or character you like.

A mind map is like a spider's web of ideas. The spider sits in the center, and that's your main idea. Each strand of the web that stretches out from the center is a related idea. Goldilocks and the Three Bears is a classic tale. Here's a sample mind map with Goldilocks as the main idea. Can you expand it by adding questions you'd like to ask Goldilocks and the three bears? When you're finished, choose a different story or character and build a brand-new mind map of your own.
