Please take 10 minutes for this exercise. Read through your article at least one time very closely.
Draw quick pictures of the main points. Feel free to add words and colors to make the story come to life. Add details. The organization of the pictures doesn’t have to be linear, in fact it is better if it is not, like a concept map for example. Larger, darker words are key points and smaller words are details.
