The document discusses various strategies for generating ideas when writing, including freewriting, brainstorming, clustering, cubing, listing, looping, researching, using WH-questions, storyboarding, and invisible writing. It provides details on each strategy, such as how freewriting involves letting thoughts flow freely without editing, how brainstorming compiles a large list of potential topics, and how clustering explores relationships between ideas by writing a central topic and linking related ideas to it. The strategies are intended to help overcome obstacles like "blank page syndrome" and get ideas flowing for writing projects.
This workshop reviews what prewriting is and how it can help in the writing process. It also goes over different prewriting techniques and how to do them.

Ideas have been the driving force of humanity. From a simple circular wheel carved from rock back in the stone ages to the first airplanes and telephones, innovative ideas have sparked off revolutionary changes in society. Now in this competitive world, ideas have become more important to us than actions. Companies have begun asking designers to generate solutions that meet the needs and desires of the consumer.
As such, there was a need to streamline and increase the efficiency of producing and sharing ideas within teams. This gave birth to several idea generation techniques, which allowed everyone to play a part in the creative process, a role allotted strictly to designers and engineers for the last few years.
Idea generation techniques meant anyone could participate in creating new ideas. It allowed people to share and build up on existing solutions, to foresee future problems, and essentially, to think big in terms of design. It brought different specializations together to create a more diverse think-tank that can tackle problems from several perspectives.
This report is divided into three parts.
First, we shall look into several idea generation techniques, both popular ones and the uncommon ones, question their uses and value by providing examples of products developed using the specific techniques.
Second, we discuss whether idea generation methods and techniques are important in coming up with new ideas? Are they the driving factor in generating ideas?
Lastly, we conclude with our personal view on idea generation techniques, along with stating which methods, if any, would we prefer to use.
Towards the end we aim to achieve a better understand of the creative thinking process as a whole and how to effectively solve all issues, design or otherwise.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2. Writing Strategies:
• A strategy is a plan that is intended to achieve a particular
purpose.
• Brannan , in his book “ A Writer`s Workshop ” has pointed out
five types of strategies for effective writing one of which is
“Strategies for Generating ideas”
3. Strategies for Generating ideas:
• For many people, the toughest part of any writing task
is getting started. Here are some exercises
that help with "blank page syndrome" or "writer's
block."
• Following are some common strategies for generating
ideas…….
5. Free-writing:
• Freewriting involves letting your thoughts flow freely on
paper or your computer screen. Set aside a time frame like 15
minutes for writing or determine to write and fill a certain
number of pages and get down to it. Write whatever comes to
your mind. Don’t worry about typos, spelling or any other
surface-level issues of grammar and style. Just write until your
time is up or your page goal is attained.
6.
7. Brain Storming:
• Brainstorming is an activity with which most people are
familiar. The object in brainstorming is to compile as large a
list as possible of potential examples for a given topic. This is a
great activity to do in small groups or with the entire class.
• To generate ideas , to do it effectively , usage of appropriate
words and do ask as many questions as you can.
8.
9. Clustering:
• Clustering, also known as idea mapping, is a strategy used to
explore relationships and associations between ideas. If you
have run out of ideas on a subject or topic, write down the
subject in the centre of a page. Highlight the subject either by
underlining or circling it. Think of an idea that relates to the
subject and jot it down on your page. Link the idea to the
central subject.
• Cluster mapping is also part idea generation and part
organization, so students will know exactly how to group
their ideas once they are ready to write.
10. Cubing:
• Cubing is a critical thinking process that involves examining a
writing project from six distinct angles to generate ideas for
your stalled projects. Describe your project: What is it? What
is it like or unlike? What makes up its constituents? How can it
be used? Finally, what are its pros or cons or how can you
oppose or support it? At the end of the exercise you should
have an angle or outline on how to approach your writing
topic or project.
11. Listing:
• If one want to write about a specific topic or communicate a
certain idea, jot down a list of single words and phrases that relate
to the general topic you are thinking about off the top of your
mind. Don’t outline or edit at this point. Let the activity be
uninhibited. When you are finished listing, group the items on
your lists in a logical manner and provide a label for each group.
Write a sentence about each group and you will have several topic
or theme sentences you can develop. Build on the topic sentences
and define associations of the groups to get broader topics or
themes with possible points to write on.
12.
13. Looping:
• Read through what you have produced in all the freewriting
looping cycles and analyze all interesting sentences, ideas or
phrases. You will likely discover a recurrent topic idea or
theme you are unconsciously thinking about has taken
precedence. You can develop this topic idea or theme and use
it in your next writing project.
14. Researching:
• Visit the library or go to a writing centre near you and browse
dictionaries, thesauruses, guide books and any other
reference texts that you find. You will be surprised at how
much background information, little-known facts and golden
topic ideas relevant to your writing projects reference books
can give.
15. WH-Questions:
• Write the five "Wh" questions (who, what, where, when, why)
across your paper. List as many questions as you can think of
that a reader might ask about your topic in those categories.
Write down answers or features of your topic that might
address those concerns.
16.
17. Story Board:
• This is ideal for narrative assignments. In each "screen," sketch
the stages of a story (like a comic strip). Under the sketch,
briefly define the action. In a large box below, list at least
three descriptive phrases or adjectives which clarify the
action.
18. Invisible Writing:
• If you have trouble writing without constantly re-reading and
editing what you've said, this may work for you. Using
computer, turn the contrast down on your monitor so the
screen is blank. Type for at least 20-30 minutes without
looking at what you've written. Then, turn the contrast up
and, ignoring typos, find out what you have to say!
