It is also commonly known as a group activity, but it can also be done individually.
There are two known of methods brainstorming, identify and compare the two.
The two methods of brainstorming are idea listing and idea mapping.
Idea list simply involves listing ideas about a particular topic. It helps you find the main idea and supporting details from the numerous ideas listed. Also, idea listing is especially appropriate to those people who are more comfortable in processing words than visuals.
While idea listing focuses on texts, idea mapping focuses more on visuals. Idea map is a visual representation of ideas and their connections with one another. It is more structured, thus it is able to show how one idea subordinates another idea.
What are graphic organizers?
Graphic organizers are visual representations of concepts that help us structure information into organization patterns. It helps you focus your attention on key elements and integrate new knowledge into your current knowledge. Graphic organizers are also helpful tools for brainstorming, facilitating reading and writing, promoting active learning, and accessing previous knowledge and experience.
There are 10 type of graphic organizers, namely Venn diagram, network tree, spider map, etc.
What is a Venn diagram and how is it used?
A Venn diagram uses two or more overlapping circles to show similar and different attributes. Venn diagrams are used in comparing and contrasting ideas and events.
There are 10 type of graphic organizers, namely Venn diagram, network tree, spider map, etc.
What is a network tree and how is it used?
A network tree uses branches to show how ideas or events branch off of a main topic. It is used to represent hierarchy, classification, and branching. A network tree is useful in showing relationships of scientific categories, family tress, and even lineages.

What is a spider map and how is it used?
A spider map or semantic map is used to investigate and enumerate various aspects of central idea, which could be a concept, topic, or theme. Just like its name, the spider map looks like a spider where the central idea is placed at the center of the map. The main idea is placed along its diagonal line, and the details of the main idea are placed on the sides of the diagonals.

What is a problem-solution map and how is it used?
A problem-solution map displays the nature of the problem and how it can be solved. This map usually contains the problem’s description or nature, its cause and effects, and logical solutions to the problem.

What is a timeline and how is it used?
A timeline is used to show how events occurred chronologically through a long bar labeled with dates and specific events.
A timeline is a type of graphic organizer and it has two types. Identify what are the two types of timeline and compare each.
A timeline can be linear or comparative.
A linear timeline shows how events happened within one period, while comparative timeline shows how two sets of events happened within the same period.
There are 10 type of graphic organizers, namely Venn diagram, network tree, spider map, etc.
What is a plot diagram and how is it used?
A plot diagram is a tool used to analyze and understand major parts of a plot. It is commonly used to organize and map events in a story.
A plot diagram analyzes the major parts of a plot. If so, what are the major events to be placed in a plot diagram?
a. ) The exposition is the initial [art where the characters, setting and relationships are established.
b. ) The exciting moment is the section which brings out the change or the conflict.
c. ) The rising action is where the suspense builds and the conflict gets worse and becomes more complicated.
d. ) The climax is the turning point in the story. It is usually the most exciting part in the story.
e. ) The falling action is the events that happen after the climax that lead to a resolution of the conflict.
f. ) The resolution is the outcome or conclusion of the story

What is a series of events chain and how is it used?
A series of events chain is used to show the logical sequence of events. This type of graphic organizer is a visual representation of a process, progression or set of instructions.
Differentiate timeline and series of events chain.
The difference between timeline and series of event chain is that a timeline represents a span of time, it depicts in which time specific events happened while a sequence of events chain is timeless as it focus mainly on progress or process.
There are 10 type of graphic organizers, namely Venn diagram, network tree, spider map, etc.
What is a fishbone map and how is it used?
A fishbone map 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.
There are 10 type of graphic organizers, namely Venn diagram, network tree, spider map, etc.
What is a cycle and how is it used?
A cycle graphic organizer describes how a series of events interact to produce a set of results repeatedly. Some examples of these events that require a cycle are water cycle, metamorphosis, and poverty cycle.
