This document discusses techniques for selecting and organizing information, including brainstorming lists, graphic organizers, sentence outlines, and topic outlines. It provides details on each technique: brainstorming lists involve documenting topics from different sources; graphic organizers use visual symbols to represent concepts and relationships; outlining creates a hierarchical framework using headings and numbering; sentence outlines express complete ideas for each mini-topic; and topic outlines arrange ideas hierarchically and show the sequence and mini-topics to be discussed.

Techniques in Selecting and Organizing 

information

a. Brainstorming List
b. Graphic Organizer
c. Sentence Outline
d. Topic Outline

Brainstorming is a process of writing down specific topics gathered from different


sources. It involves documenting and coming up as a list of topics. These topics, you may found
out, that not all of them will be useful for you. Nonetheless, it is still a valuable tool to organize
your data.

a. Brainstorming List
Is composed of major points with sub details for each. The sub list may be a short explanation or
example of the major point.

b. Graphic Organizer
This technique in organizing information involves the use of visual symbols. These symbols
represent the knowledge, concepts, thoughts or ideas, and the relationship between them. The
main purpose of a graphic organizer is to provide a visual aid to facilitate learning and
instruction.
Example:
1. Knowledge map
2. Concept map
3. Story map
4. Venn diagram

Outlining is a process of organizing information gathered from reading. It uses an outline


a skeletal frame work which includes the ideas separated by a specific heading and uses a
numbering system. Outlining makes it possible for you to arrange the ideas, details and examples
based on importance or chronology.
Two kinds:
  1. Traditional 2. Modern
1.1 
A. 1.2
B. 1.3 
C. 1.3.1
1. 1.3.2
2. 1.3.3 
3.  
1.3.3.3.1 
a.  
1.3.3.3.2 
b.  
c. 1.3.3.3.3 

c. Sentence Outline

It shows exactly what you will say about each mini-topic. Each sentence, instead of
simply identifying a mini-topic, is like a mini-thesis statement about that mini-topic. It expresses
the specific and complete idea that that section of the paper will cover as part of proving the
overall thesis.

d. Topic Outline
Arranges your ideas hierarchically (showing which are main and which are sub-points),
in the sequence you want, and shows what you will talk about. As the name implies, it identifies
all the little mini-topics that your paper will comprise, and shows how they relate.

Remember that a topic outline lists words or phrases. A sentence outline lists complete


sentences.
