Mapping the Relationships

Theory to Practice Assignment Part II: Mapping the Relationships

Part II of the TtP Assignment involves the use of Mind Maps (Bubbl.us) to make

visual connections representing the impact of your issue/topic on individual and

family life. PLEASE make sure that you follow each of the steps below in listed

order and use all of the resources (i.e., videos and links) to gather information. If

not, the terms may not have meaning to you. Each of the links in this text have

also been added to the module.

1. Open Bubbl.us and watch the introductory video https://bubbl.us

2. Create an account if you do not already have one (there is a free option)

3. Click on this help link to become familiar with the program

https://bubbl.us/help/gettingstarted and https://bubbl.us/help/lines (allow for

about 10 minutes)

4. Begin building your mind map (parent bubble) labeled with the name of your

policy (i.e., the policy you chose for Part I).

5. You will add “child bubbles” and “sibling bubbles” to serve as a visual map of

the connections between your issue/topic and individuals, families, and

communities.

Be specific as this will allow you to create multiple bubbles that have

relationships to one another. The content of the paper from TtP Part I will help

you identify information for your bubbles. Use between 20-30 bubbles and as

many connecting lines as necessary to express the information.

6. Once you have completed your mind map, export it as a .jpg and save to your

computer. Submit to the dropbox by midnight of the dues date. DO NOT submit

links to the website used to create your map.
