You can see right away why this is called a spray diagram. You start at the centre with a topic that interests you or one
that you need to be concerned with; write it in a blob or box, add some four to six related main ideas or thoughts branching
outwards from the box. Move further outwards with branches setting out additional ideas in a fairly free style, finishing
with twigs, dealing with detail.
If you now study my spray diagram more closely you will find that it says more than I have discussed so far. As it was drawn
from my perspective I have added elements I find relevant such as the branch starting with the other diagramming materials
on OpenLearn that I mentioned at the beginning of this week. I am sure that your diagram is different. That does not make
it wrong as your diagram is to help you make sense of something from your perspective. Reading mine may make you think once
again about yours if you were going to develop yours further. My example was a quick first pass to help me plan this session.
I found it sufficient to help my thinking this time but in other situations I might want to draw it again.
