Brainstorming
• an informal way of generating topics to write about, or
points to make about your topic.
• is an individual or group activity.
• Using this technique, efforts are made to make a solution
to a particular problem
• Ideas are gathered and listed from the input of every
member.
Methods in Brainstorming
1. Idea list
2. Idea map
3. Free Writing
4. Cubing
5. Researching
Methods in Brainstorming
1. Idea list
- simply involves listing ideas about a
particular topic. It also helps you find the
main idea and supporting details.
- is appropriate to textual people, or those
who are more comfortable in processing
words than visuals.

and them write down all related concepts
below it.
Methods in Brainstorming

- also called webbing or clustering
- is a visual representation of ideas and
their connections with one another.

3. Cubing
- an idea is examined from six distinct
viewpoints.
 You describe the topic (what is it?)
 Compare and contrast it (what is it
like or unlike?)
 What do you associate it with(what
does it remind you of?)
 Analyze it (what are its parts?)
 Apply it (in what ways can it be
utilized)

-simply requires you to write the main topic
