- 10. In this technique, just keep on writing and not minding errors in spelling and grammar. The objective here is to just write what comes to your mind. Have a quantitative goal like coming up with 500 words or more. Then review what you have written later and hopefully come up with a specific topic that would interest you. A.2. FREE WRITING
- 11. List down what comes to your mind. If your intention is to come up with topic to write about, enumerate them. An important reminder in using this technique is not to list your ideas in an outline form because an outline will require you to organize items and your thoughts which is a principle contrary to brainstorming A.3. LISTING
- 12. 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. A.4. MAPPING
- 13. A graphic organizer, also known as knowledge map, concept map, story map, cognitive organizer, advance organizer, or concept diagram, is a communication tool that uses visual symbols to express knowledge, concepts, thoughts and ideas and the relationship between them. B. GRAPHIC ORGANIZERS
- 14. The main purpose of a graphic organizer is to provide a visual aid to facilitate learning and instruction. (Wikipedia.com) It is easier for the writer to explain his/her ideas if s/he is able to present the graphic devices in such a way that can help others focus on the relationships of the ideas presented with other details. B. GRAPHIC ORGANIZERS
- 15. TYPES OF GRAPHIC ORGANIZERS WHICH YOU CAN USE IN WRITING
- 16. Concept Maps graphically illustrate relationships between two or more concepts and are linked by words to describe their relationships. B.1. CONCEPT MAPS
- 18. Web shows how different categories of information relate to one another. B. 2. WEBS

- 20. Mind Maps are visual representations of hierarchical information that include a central idea or image surrounded by connected branches of associated topics or ideas. B. 3. MIND MAPS

- 22. This type of graphic organizer shows a series of steps or events in the order in which they will take place. They can be used in outlining the events in the story, or showing a procedure in a scientific process. B. 4. FLOW DIAGRAM OR SEQUENCE CHART

- 35. C. OUTLINE An outline is the general plan of what you intend to write. In preparing the outline, you have to classify each information and its connection to your topic or subject. The sorted information may be grouped according to content. From these grouped information, you can already provide headings – main and subheadings – which are parallel in structure. In an outline, have at least two topics after each heading and two for the subheadings.
- 36. C.1. TOPIC OUTLINE It is a form of outline that uses parallel phrases for the heading all throughout.
- 37. C.2. SENTENCE OUTLINE It is a form of outline that uses sentences for the heading all throughout.
- 38. C.OUTLINE There are two formats of outlining: 1. Number-Letter Format 2. Decimal Outline Format
- 39. NUMBER LETTER FORMAT It is the use of the number, then letter in an outline. You use the Roman numerals for the main heading. You start with Roman “I” for the heading, under are the subheadings or supporting details which are indented and are marked by capital letters. If there subheadings under letter “A”, ident further and use Arabic numbers 1 and so on. In case of information not as important as the subheading, ident and mark it with a small letter instead.
- 40. NUMBER LETTER FORMAT I. Main Heading A. Subheading 1. Supporting Details 2. Supporting Details II. Main Heading A. Subheading 1. Supporting Details a. Example
- 41. DECIMAL OUTLINE FORMAT It makes use of decimal numbers in place of the number-letters use. Arabic number 1 is used instead of Roman “I” for the main heading. Number 1.1 is used in case there is a subheading; numbers 1.2 if there is another subheading that follows it.
- 42. DECIMAL OUTLINE FORMAT 1. Main Heading 1.1 Subheading 1.1.1 Supporting Details 1.1.2 Supporting Details 2. Main Heading 2.1 Subheading 2.1.1 Supporting Details 2.1.1.1 Example
