UNIT 2 Flashcards
is a group creativity technique by which efforts are made to find a conclusion for a specific problem by gathering a list of ideas spontaneously contributed by its members.
Brainstorming
creating simply involves listing ideas about the particular topic. It also helps you find the main idea and supporting details from the numerous listed ideas.
Idea list
is it a visual representation of ideas and their connection with one another.
Idea map
are visual representations of concepts that help you structure information into organizational patterns. They present essential information and connect these pieces of information into a coherent framework.
Graphic Organizers
This is used to compare and contrast ideas and events. This diagram uses two or more overlapping circles to show similar and different attributes.
Venn Diagram
This is used to represent the hierarchy, classification, and branching. It is useful in showing relationships of scientific categories, family trees, and even lineages.
Network Tree
This is used to show the chronological order of events through a long bar labeled with dates and specific events. Timelines can be linear or comparative. A linear timeline shows events that happened within a period while a comparative timeline shows two sets of events that happened within the same period.
Timeline
This is used to map events in a story, making it easier to analyze the major parts of the plot
Plot Diagram
the initial part where the characters, settings, and relationships are established.
Exposition
the part which brings about the change of the conflict.
Inciting moment
the part where the conflict and the characters are developed
Rising action
the highest point of the story where the major conflicts are confronted
Climax
the events immediately following the climax which lead to the closure of the conflict/s.
Falling action
the conclusion of closure of the story.
Resolution
This is used to show the logical sequence of events.
Series of Events Chain
This is used to better understand the casual relationship of a complex phenomenon. It shows the factors that causes a specific event or problem, as well as details of each cause.
Fishbone Map
This is used to describe how a series of events interact to produce a set of results repeatedly. Some examples of events that require a cycle are the water cycle metamorphosis, and the poverty cycle.
Cycle
This is used to map out arguments and evidence that prove a viewpoint. This map is handy when processing persuasive or argumentative texts.
Persuasion Map
(also known as semantic map). This is used to investigate and enumerate various aspects of a central idea, which could be a concept, topic, or theme. This central idea is placed at the center of the map. The main ideas are placed along its diagonal lines, while details of the main ideas are placed sides of the diagonals.
Spider Map
This is used to display the nature of the problem and how it can be solved. It usually contains the problem description, its causes and effects and logical solutions.
Problem-Solution Map
an outline is a tool for organizing ideas. It is used as a pre-writing strategy and a post-reading activity. When preparing an outline, you can either use a decimal outline or an alphanumeric outline.
OUTLINE
requires ideas of the same relevance to be labeled in the same way
Coordination
shows that minor details have to be placed under their respective major details
Subordination
requires that no cluster should contain only one item. In short, if you have subheading 1, there should be subheading 2.
Division
requires all entries in each cluster to use the same structure and format
Parallel construction
uses words and phrases for its entries. Generally, a topic outline is used if the ideas being discussed can be arranged in a number of ways.
Topic Outline
uses a complete sentences for its entries. You use a sentence outline when the topic being discussed is completed and requires a lot of details.
Sentence Outline
The logical arrangement of ideas is known as the __________ The pattern helps you follow ideas easily and understand a text better. Having the ability to recognize it will help you distinguish major details from minor ones and predict ideas.
the pattern of development
Using __________ to develop an idea to clarify and explain concepts by answering the question “What does it mean?” This pattern explains the information through the use of illustrations, examples, and descriptions. It may also include one or more different patterns.
definition
An exemplification pattern presents the main idea in a general statement and then provides specific and correct examples to expound on it. Simply putt, this pattern is used to proide an example of something.
Exemplification
A descriptive pattern provides details on the idea by using either a sensory or spatial pattern. Through a sensory pattern, ideas are arranged based on one or all of the five senses. A spatial pattern, on the other hand, arranges ideas by location or physical space.
Description (Sensory and Spatial)
A chronological pattern organizes ideas or events according to time. It can either be in the form of a narration or a process. A narration sequences events in the order in which they occurred in time, while a process organizes details based on stages or steps.
Chronology/Procedure
A listing pattern organizes ideas using enumeration. Unlike a chronological pattern, a listing does not have the element of time. It presents a series of items (facts, examples, features, reasons, and tips) that support a main idea.
Listing
A comparison-contrast pattern organizes ideas based on how events, places, people, things, and concepts are similar to or different from one another. There are two ways on how ideas can be arranged: separately, which involves describing one item first followed by the second item; side-by-side, which means discussing both items based on each point of comparison.
Comparison-contrast
A classification pattern organizes ideas into categories or divisions based on criteria and standards. This pattern can be used when classifying people, objects, events, things, places, and other items. Make sure to always double-check whether each term is undeniably part of a certain category and avoid oversimplifying just so you may be able to assign something to a category, as it may result in stereotyping.
Classification and Division
a cause-and-effect pattern organizes details based on cause, reason, and the result or consequences of a certain phenomenon. This pattern may discuss the causes only, the effects only, or both
Cause and Effect
A problem-solution pattern organizes ideas into problems and proposed solutions. The problem section usually includes the what, who, where, why, and how of the problem. The solution section then presents the major effects of the problem, the possible solutions to address it, and then the steps in implementing the solutions.
