This is an image of my mindmap creation. I use Mind42 to create it. I think this is a great graphic organization tool because it allows you to organize information very easily and can very quickly turn it into this very useable image, and you can so easily link other informational sites or student projects. I chose to use an author as the basis for my mindmap. This was great because I was able to branch off in so many directions so quickly, such as his life, his books, and themes in his writings. I definitely can see this being an interesting assessment and reflection tool at the end of a unit. It would allow students to collaborate on projects, and they could even divide up responsibility for the various branches. This way students could see the "big picture." I think it might even be a neat way for me to graphically represent the curriculum we cover over the course of the year, to give students a "big picture" version of our course and how everything fits together.
