A think link is a visual presentation of related ideas, similar to a map or web,
that represents your thought process. Put your ideas inside geometric shapes (boxes
or circles) and attach related ideas and facts to those shapes using lines (you may
find additional information on note taking elsewhere in your text).
To get started, try using the style shown in Key 4.9. Put your main idea (“Me”)
in a shape in the center, and then create a wheel of related ideas coming off that cen-
tral shape. Spreading out from each of those related ideas (interests, values, and so
forth), draw lines connecting the thoughts that go along with each idea. For example,
you might connect singing, stock market, and history with the “interests” idea.

look back at it at the end of the term to see how your self-image has changed and grown. Personality and Learning Preferences
