fro a specific problem by gathering a list of
ideas spontaneously contributed by its
members.
A. BRAINSTORMING
7. The term was popularized by Alex
Faickney Osborn in the 1953 book Applied
Imagination. (Wikipedia.org). He developed
this technique when he got frustrated that
his employees could not come up with
useful techniques as they worked
individually.
A. BRAINSTORMING
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?

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.
B. GRAPHIC ORGANIZERS
16. Concept Maps graphically illustrate
relationships between two or more
concepts and are linked by words to
describe their relationships.
B.1. CONCEPT MAPS
20. Mind Maps are visual representations of
hierarchical information that include a central
idea or image surrounded by connected
branches of associated topics or ideas.
B. 3. MIND MAPS
22. This type of graphic organizer shows a series
of steps or events in the order in which they
will take place. They can be used in outlining
the events in the story, or showing a
procedure in a scientific process.
B. 4. FLOW DIAGRAM OR
SEQUENCE CHART
30. B. 8. GRAPH
It is a collection of all points whose coordinates
satisfy a given relation. The most commonly used
graphs are the line and bar graph
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
It is a form of outline that uses
sentences for the heading all throughout.
38. C.OUTLINE
There are two formats of outlining:
1. Number-Letter Format
2. Decimal Outline Format
39. NUMBER LETTER
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.

numbers 1.2 if there is another subheading that
follows it.
