The document discusses techniques for selecting and organizing information such as brainstorming, graphic organizers, and outlining. It provides details on the basic steps of brainstorming including laying out the problem, identifying objectives, generating individual solutions, and working as a group. Examples of various graphic organizers like clock diagrams, decision making diagrams, KWHL charts, and more are shown. The key differences between a topic outline and a sentence outline are explained.

7. LAY OUT THE
PROBLEM YOU
WANT TO SOLVE
IDENTIFY THE
OBJECTIVES OF A
POSSIBLE SOLUTION
TRY TO
GENERATE
WHEN ALL ARE
CLEAR, WORK
AS A GROUP.
8. 1. Lay out the problem you want
to solve.
• According to Keeney, when dealing with a
problem, students should keep on pushing
until they come up with at least 5
alternatives, and then, considering all of
those, “identify your objectives for your
study, evaluate the alternatives and select
the best”.
9. 2. Identify the objectives of a
possible solution.
• Knowing the goals will help making
solutions easier.
10. 3. Try to generate
solutions
individually.
• Coming into a group brainstorming
with potential solutions reduces the
risk that participants will get bogged
down on one objective.
• This will avoid an “anchor”.
11. 4. When your problems,
objectives and personal solutions
are clear, work
as a group.
• Avoiding an “anchor” is a challenge when
brainstorming for solutions however,
according to Keeney, if participants do
their homework, clarifying the problem,
identifying the objectives, and individually
trying to come up with solutions, a
brainstorming session can be extremely
productive.
24. TOPIC
OUTLINE
• Arranges your ideas hierarchically, in the
sequence you want, and show what you will
talk about.
Several aspects must be considered in writing
a topic outline.
• Recall that all headings and subheadings
must be words or phrases, not sentences.
• Also, the wording within each division
must be parallel.
• Finally, as in any outline, remember that a division
or subdivision cannot be divided into one part;
therefore, if there is an "A" there must be a "B,"
and if there is a "1" there must be a "2."
25. SENTENCE
OUTLINE
• Similarly does what a topic outline does;
plus, it shows exactly what you will say
about each mini- topic.
Several aspects must be considered in
writing a sentence outline.
• If you have chosen to write a sentence outline, all
headings and sub-headings must be in sentence
form.
• As in any outline, remember that a division or
subdivision can not be divided into one part;
therefore, if there is an "A" there must be a "B,"
