Brainstorming

Brainstorming

Patrick's class was tasked with the opening presentation during


their school's Foundation Day. The school has already decided on a
theme, and the class was simply required to decide its own concept for
the performance. Although Patrick facilitated the discussion, all of
his classmates were involved because they all shared their own ideas.
After everyone has contributed an idea, they evaluated the
suggestions and decided to use Gabriel's idea to do a musical skit.
Brainstorming is perhaps the most popular tool in generating
creative and rich ideas. It helps people establish patterns of
ideas, develop new ways of thinking, activate background
knowledge, and overcome mental block. While brainstorming is
commonly thought of as a group activity, it can also be done
individually. In fact, some studies show that individual
brainstorming produces more ideas.
In group brainstorming, people focus too much on other
people's ideas that they are unable to generate ideas of their
own. However, group brainstorming might be a better option
in solving more complicated problems because it produces
ideas that are wider in range and greater in depth. This is
largely attributed to the fact that the experiences and
knowledge of each group member augment those of the other
members.
Methods in
Brainstorming
You can brainstorm effectively either by creating an idea list
or by making an idea map Creating an idea list simply involves
listing ideas about a particular topic. It also helps you find the
main idea and supporting details from the numerous ideas
listed.

How to make an idea list: This strategy is especially


appropriate to textual people, or those who are more
comfortable in processing words than visuals. It simply
requires you to write the main topic and then write down all
related concepts below.
Topic-Unemployment
1. Jobs
2. Poverty
3. Salary
4. Lack of Education
5. Lack of Jobs
6. Low Salary
7. Lack of Money
8. Fresh Graduates
Another brainstorming method is making an idea map. It is a
visual representation of ideas and their connections with one
another. Unlike the idea list, an idea map is more structured,
thus it is able to show how one idea subordinates another Idea

How to make an idea map: Put the big idea or question at the
center. Then, add a related idea by writing it down in a circle
near the big idea, and drawing a line between the two to show
how the ideas are connected. Continue this process of
connecting ideas until you have generated enough concepts.
In general, remember to define the problem or the issue that needs to be
solved. If you are going to brainstorm on your own, make sure to choose a
comfortable place and minimize distractions. Try using images to stimulate
your mind. For group brainstorming, make sure to create a fun atmosphere
all throughout the activity. If the members are not used to working
together, open with a warm-up exercise or an ice breaker. Assign a
facilitator who will lead the discussion, but give every member an equal
opportunity to contribute. Make sure not to criticize during brainstorming,
so as to create a free and open environment. To gain different
perspectives, try to vary your standpoints. Do not forget to take short
breaks during long sessions. At the end of a brainstorming session, make
sure to evaluate the ideas.
Graphic
Organizers
Graphic Organizers

are visual representations of concepts that help us structure


information into organizational patterns. They represent essential
information and connect these pieces of information into a coherent
framework. They are helpful tools for brainstorming, facilitating reading
and writing, promoting active learning, and accessing previous knowledge
and experiences.
Types of Graphic
Organizers
Venn Diagram

- is used to compare and contrast ideas and


events. This diagram uses two or more
overlapping circles to show similar and
different attributes.
Network Tree

- is used to represent hierarchy, classification,


and branching. It is useful in showing relationships
of scientific categories, family trees, and even
lineages.
Spider Map (also known as semantic map)

- This is used to investigate and enumerate


various aspects of a central idea, which could be a
concept, topic, or theme. This central idea is placed
at the center of the map. The main idea s placed
along its diagonal line, while details of the main
idea are placed on the sides of the diagonals,
Problem-Solution Map

- This displays the nature of the problem and how


it can be solved. This map usually contains
problem's description, its causes and effects, and
logical solutions.
Timeline

-This is used to show events occurred


chronologically through a long bar labeled with
dates and specific events. It can be linear or
comparative.
Plot Diagram

-This is a tool used to map events in a story. It


is used to analyze the major parts of a plot. The
major events to be placed are exposition, inciting
moment, rising action, climax, falling action, and
resolution.
a. Exposition - the initial part where the characters, settings, and
relationships are established.

b. Inciting moment - the part which brings about the change or the
conflict.

c. Rising action- the section where the conflict and the characters are
developed.

d. Climax-the highest point of the story where the major events are
confronted.

e. Falling action the events immediately following the climax which lead
to the closure of the conflict

f. Resolution - the conclusion or closure of the story.


Series of Events Chain

-This is used to show the logical sequence of


events.
Fishbone Map

- This is used to better understand the causal


relationship of a complex phenomenon. It shows the
factors that cause a specific event or problem, as
well as details of each cause.
Cycle

- This describes how a series of events interact


to produce a set of results repeatedly. Some
examples of events that require a cycle are water
cycle, metamorphosis, and poverty cycle.
Persuasion Map

- This is used to map out arguments and


evidence that prove a viewpoint. This is especially
useful when processing persuasive or
argumentative texts
