TIPS FOR BRAINSTORMING: 3 ways to brainstorm to get ideas and organize your essays!
-- Get all your ideas on paper. Don't worry if they're good or bad!
-- Look for ideas that go together. Label them in some way (circle, underline, etc.).
-- Look for groups of ideas that can make paragraphs or main points of your essay.
-- Comparison/Contrast topic?: Use a T-chart to look at both or a Venn diagram to see similarities & differences.
-- Argumentative topic? Use a T-chart to analyze both sides.
