The document discusses four techniques for organizing information: brainstorming, graphic organizers, outlining, and cubing. Brainstorming involves spontaneously generating ideas in a group setting to solve a problem. Graphic organizers are visual tools like circle maps, spider maps, Venn diagrams, tree charts, and flow diagrams that organize related concepts. Outlining creates a general plan for writing by categorizing topics with different levels of headings. Cubing involves analyzing a topic from six different perspectives.

technique when he got frustrated that his
employees could not come up with useful
techniques as they worked individually.

5. Brainstroming is resorted when:
● there is a need for new ideas and
when there is a problem to be
solved.
● in terms of writing: it is useful when
a person has too few ideas or has
too many and she us confused as
to what topic to choose.

7. CUBING
Cubing is a tool to look at one thing from six
(each side of a cube) different ways. Cubing also
allows you to focus on each side a bit longer than
you may have with other forms of brainstorming.
This is a good strategy to make new connections to
your topic.
