WRITING TIPS

9. In this strategy, a topic or idea is examined in 6
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?

A.1. CUBING

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

11. List down what comes to your mind. If your
intention is to come up with topic to write
about, enumerate them. An important reminder
in using this technique is not to list your ideas in
an outline form because an outline will require
you to organize items and your thoughts which
is a principle contrary to brainstorming
A.3. LISTING

12. Mapping, also known as clustering and
webbing, is a graphic form of listing that
simply involves jotting down ideas on a large
writing 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.
A.4. MAPPING

13. 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 and ideas
and the relationship between them.
B. GRAPHIC ORGANIZERS

14. The main purpose of a graphic organizer is
to provide a visual aid to facilitate learning and
instruction. (Wikipedia.com)
It is easier for the writer to explain his/her
ideas if s/he is able to present the graphic
devices in such a way that can help others focus
on the relationships of the ideas presented with
other details.

35. 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 be grouped according to content. From these
grouped information, you can already provide headings – main
and subheadings – which are parallel in structure. In an outline,
have at least two topics after each heading and two for the
subheadings.

36. C.1. TOPIC OUTLINE
It is a form of outline that uses parallel
phrases for the heading all throughout.

37. C.2. SENTENCE OUTLINE

sentences for the heading all throughout.

1. Number-Letter Format
2. Decimal Outline Format

FORMAT
It is the use of the number, then letter in an
outline. You use the Roman numerals for the main
heading. You start with Roman “I” for the heading,
under are the subheadings or supporting details
which are indented and are marked by capital
letters. If there subheadings under letter “A”, ident
further and use Arabic numbers 1 and so on. In case
of information not as important as the subheading,
ident and mark it with a small letter instead.

41. DECIMAL OUTLINE
FORMAT
It makes use of decimal numbers in place of
the number-letters use. Arabic number 1 is used
instead of Roman “I” for the main heading.
Number 1.1 is used in case there is a subheading;
numbers 1.2 if there is another subheading that
follows it.
