    Techniques in Selecting and Organizing

    Information

    Techniques - Are approaches or methods you as a writer may use to organize the
    information you have gathered, to accomplish your desired aim in writing and to improve
    your writing craft.

    Basic Techniques in Organizing Information

    # Brainstorming - It is a group creatively technique by which efforts are made to find a


    conclusion for a specific problem by gathering a list of ideas spontaneously contribute
    by its members.

    5 Brainstorming Strategies for Writers


    1. Cubing
    In this strategy, a topic or idea is examined from six distinct viewpoints — hence the
    name. Describe the topic

    2. Free

    Writing is a prewriting technique in which a person writes continuously for a set period
    of time without regard to spelling, grammar, or topic. It produces raw, often unusable
    material, but helps writers overcome blocks of apathy and self-criticism. It is used mainly
    by prose writers and writing teachers.

    3. Listing

    Writing down a list of phrases or single words you will return to later. For nonfiction, the
    list can consist of opinions, arguments, facts, questions, or components, or any
    combination of the above. For fiction, list people, places, and things, values and
    qualities, goals and obstacles.

    4. Mapping

    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.
    5. Researching
    Research is a careful and detailed study into a specific problem, concern, or issue using
    the scientific method. This is best accomplished by turning the issue into a question,
    with the intent of the research to answer the question.

    # Graphic Organizer - A graphic organizer, also known as a knowledge map, concept


    map, story map, cognitive organizer, advance organizer, or concept diagram. It is a
    pedagogical tool that uses visual symbols to express knowledge, concepts, thoughts, or
    ideas, and the relationships between them.

    Types of Graphic Organizers

    1. Venn Diagram
    Used to compare and contrast ideas and events

    Example:

    2. Network Three

    Used to represent hierarchy, classification, and branching

    Example:
    3. Spider Map
    Used to investigate and enumerate various aspects of a central idea, which could be a
    concept, topic, or theme.

    Example:

    4. Problem Solution map


    Displays the nature of the problem and how it can be solved

    Example:

    5. Timeline
    Used to how events occurred chronologically through a long bar labeled with dates and
    specific events

    Example:
    # Topic Outline & Sentence Outline

    Topic outline - A systematic arrangement of ideas using broad topics in the form of
    words or simple phrases as headers

    Example:

    Sentence Outline - uses complete sentence as its entries


    Also known as expanded outline

    Example:
