Methods of Brainstorming
Brainstorming
Brainstorming is a way of gathering ideas about a topic. Think of a
storm : thousands of drops of rain, all coming down together. Now,
imagine thousands of ideas ‘raining’ down onto your paper !

When you brainstorm write every idea that comes to your mind.
Don’t worry now about whether the ideas are good or silly, useful
or not. Your task is to gather as many ideas as you can.
Methods of
Brainstorming
1. Making a List

Write single words or a phrases


or sentences related to your topic
and create a list.

Brainstorming
2. Free Writing

When you free write, you write


whatever comes into your head about
your topic, without stopping for just 5 to 10 minutes.

Brainstorming
3. Mapping

To make a map, use the whole sheet of


paper, and write your topic in the middle, with a circle around it.
Write other ideas in circles above or below and connect all circles
with lines.

Brainstorming
4. Questioning

In questioning, you generate ideas


and details by asking questions about your subject. Such questions
include why, when, where, who, and how. Ask as many questions as
you can think of.

Brainstorming
5. Preparing a Scratch Outline

In a scratch outline, you think carefully


about the point you are making, the
supporting items for that point, and the order in which you will
arrange those items. The scratch outline is a plan or blueprint to help
you achieve a unified, supported, well-organized essay.
