FOUR TECHNIQUES IN SELECTING
AND ORGANIZING INFORMATION

1. Brainstorming List
2. Graphic Organizer
3. Topic Outline,
4. Sentence Outline
 A. BRAINSTORMING
Brainstorming is an individual or
group activity.

5 Strategies under Brainstorming:

1. cubing
2. free writing
3. listing
4. mapping
5. researching
1. Cubing
 an idea is examined from six distinct viewpoints.
it describe the topic (what is it?), compare and
contrast (what it is like or unlike?), what do you
associate with it?, what are its parts?
it explore three perspective,
 describe the topic, its features, parts and challenges,
then compare and contrast it with other ideas.
 trace the topic history, influences and evolution.
 map the topic to similar contemporary topics and its
influences.
2. Free writing
Free writing sets a time limit and
number of words or pages.
just write, do not edit yourself
allows someone to work without
inhibitions
3. Listing
Process of listing:
just list topics,
make a sublist of things you could
write about each topic.
4. Mapping
also called webbing or clustering
involves writing down ideas, and then
making connections by associating
similar ideas with color coded circles or
underlined dominant themes, or using
distinct patterns, and then showing the
relationship by linking with lines.
5. Researching
Go to the library or check out
websites on the internet. Make a
list or map of the new ideas.
 B. GRAPHIC ORGANIZER
uses visual symbols that expresses
thoughts, ideas, knowledge concepts, and the
relationship between them.
3 types of Graphic Organizer
1. Basic Outline
2. Venn Diagram
3. Topical Organizer
1. Basic Outline
ensures that every point the writer makes has sufficient
supporting details.
2. Venn Diagram
 A Venn diagram (also
called primary diagram,
set diagram or logic
diagram) is a diagram that
shows all possible logical
relations between a finite
collection of different sets
 use to compare an
contrast
3. Topical Organizer
 allows writer to map out
ideas.
Ex. of Topical Organizer
Bubble Topical Organizer
Fish Boning
C. TOPIC OUTLINE
Uses phrases only
no sentences and verbs,
verbals may be used
D. SENTENCE OUTLINE
 Provides more information than a topic outline.
 Every idea should be written in a complete
sentence.
 avoid sentence fragment
 JOURNAL WRITING
1. Make a hierarchical topical organizer of
your paternal/maternal family tree.
2. Make a Venn Diagram of Basketball and
volleyball
3. Make a topic outline of Effect of computer
games
4. Make a sentence outline regarding the
benefits of brainstorming.
