Do quotation marks cause errors?

Double quotes inside plain node text can. Leave them out of titles in nodes, or use single quotes.

Can I use it to analyze one novel?

Yes. Make the title the root and use branches for context, plot structure, characters, techniques and themes.

Can I add essay templates?

Yes, but keep to keywords for each step. A full paragraph in a node makes the map very large.

When to use it

English class can feel shapeless next to math, and students do not know where to start reviewing. The map lays out the strands and the skills in each, so practice can be planned strand by strand.

Make it yours

Add the texts you read this year as nodes under Reading literature.
