OBJECTIVES
At the end of the lesson, the
students can:
a. describe practically the
effective ways to select and
organize information;
b. appreciate innately the
importance of organizing ideas
in a given situation;
c. Use effectively the techniques
in organizing information.

HOW DO YOU
ORGANIZE YOUR
IDEAS?

What do you think are the effective ways of
selecting and organizing information?
1. What is brainstorming?
2. What are graphic organizers for?
3. What is outlining? How do you
format an outline?

FACT SHEET
Here are three (3) of the basic techniques you may
use in organizing your information.
A. BRAINSTORMING
Brainstorming is a group creativity
technique by which efforts are made
to find a conclusion for a specific
problem by gathering a list of ideas
spontaneously contributed by its
members.

Here are four (4) of the brainstorming tips suggested by Mark
Nichol in Writing Tips.
1. Cubing. In this strategy, a topic or idea is examined in six
viewpoints:
a. What is the topic?
b. What is it like or unlike?
c. What does it make you think of?
d. What constituent parts is it made of?
e. How can it be used?
f. In what ways can you support or oppose it?

2. Free writing. In this technique, just
keep on writing and not minding errors in
spelling and grammar. Have a
quantitative goal like coming up with 500
words or more. The objective here is just
to write what comes to your mind. Then
review what you have written later, and
hopefully choose a topic from what you
have written that would interest you.

3. Listing. As the term states, list down
what comes to your mind. If your
intention is to come up with topics to
write about, enumerate them. An
important reminder in using this
technique is not to list your ideas in
outline form.

4. Mapping. Mapping, also known as
clustering and webbing, is a graphic
form of listing that simply involves
jotting down ideas on a large writings
surface and then making connections by
associating similarly themed ideas with
color-coded circles or underlines of
distinct patterns and then indicating
other relationships by linking with lines.

B. GRAPHIC ORGANIZERS
A graphic organizer, also known as knowledge
map, concept map, story map, cognitive organizer,
advance organizer, or concept diagram, is a
communication tool that uses visual symbols to
express knowledge, concepts, thoughts, or ideas ,
and the relationship between them.

The following are the types of graphic organizers which you
can use in writing:
1. Concept Maps. Concept maps graphically
illustrate relationships between two or more
concepts and are linked by words to describe their
relationship.

2. Webs. Web shows how different categories of
information relate to one another.

3. Mind Maps. Mind maps are visual representations
of hierarchical information that includes a central
idea or image surrounded by connected branches or
associated topics or ideas.

4. Flow diagram or Sequence chart. This type of graphic
organizer shows a series of steps or events in the order in
which they take place. They can be used in outlining the
events in a story, or showing a procedure in a scientific
process.

5. Venn Diagram. A Venn diagram is used to identify
similarities and differences between two or more concepts.

6. Organizational Chart or Diagram. It is a chart or
diagram that shows the structure of an organization.

7. Pie Chart. A pie chart is a type of a circular graph,
which is divided into slices to illustrate a numerical
proportion.

8. Graph. A graph is a collection of all points
whose coordinates satisfy a given relation. The
most commonly used graphs are the line and
bar graph.

9. Table. A table is a systematic arrangement of data
usually in rows and columns for ready reference.

C. OUTLINE
An outline is the general plan of what you intend to
write. In preparing the outline, you have to classify each
information and its connection to your topic or subject.
The sorted information may now be grouped according
to content. From this group information, you can already
provide headings – main and subheadings – which are
parallel in structure. Parallel in structure means that if
you want to use phrases for all the headings, use
phrases all throughout. This type of outline is the topic
outline.

If you choose to use sentences, do the same for
all the headings and subheadings. An outline
that makes use of sentences for its headings and
subheadings is called a sentence outline. In
preparing an outline, have at least two topics
after each heading, and two for the subheading.

The following are the formats of an outline with their
explanation and example:
1. Number-Letter Format. It is the use of the
number, then letter in an outline. You use the
Roman numerals for the main headings. For
example, you start with the Roman “I” for the
main heading, under it are the subheadings or
supporting details which are indented and are
marked by capital letters. If there are
subheadings under subheading A, indent further
and use Arabic numbers 1 and so on. In case of
information not as important as the subheading,
indent it and mark it with a small letter instead.

Number-letter Format
I. Main Heading
A. Subheading
1. Supporting Details
B. Subheading
II. Main Heading
A. Subheading
B. Subheading
III. Main Heading
A. Subheading
B. Subheading
a. Example
b. Example

2. Decimal Outline Format. This outline make use
of decimal numbers in place of the number-
letters used in the first example. Arabic number
1 is used instead of a Roman numeral I for the
main heading. Numbers 1.1. is used in case
there is a subheading for the first main heading;
numbers 1.2 if there is another subheading that
follows it.

Decimal Outline Format
1. Main Heading
1.1. Subheading
1.1.1 Supporting Details
1.1.2. Supporting Details
1.2.. Subheading
2. Main Heading
2.1. Subheading
2.1.1.1. Example
2.1.1.2. Example
2.2. Subheading
