LESSON 3: ORGANIZING INFORMATION ❖BRAINSTORMING ❖GRAPHIC ORGANIZER ❖OUTLINING  LEARNING OBJECTIVES After this lesson, the learners will be able to: a. define brainstorming, graphic organizer, outline, and its types; b. explore the different types of graphic organizer and the principles of outlining; c. formulate an infographic that presents the definition of brainstorming and the 7 easy ways to brainstorm; and d. create a character trait organizer for the person who inspires you to keep going in life. Brainstorming Techniques I. Nominal Group Technique (small group discussion) - Participants are asked to write their ideas anonymously. Then the facilitator collects the ideas and the group votes on each idea. Brainstorming Techniques II. Group Passing -each person in a circular group writes one idea and then passes to the next person to add some thoughts. III. Electronic Brainstorming- used in order to generate ideas by online interaction, either by email or interactive web sites, in order to organize ideas and make decisions. IV. Question Brainstorming- participants come up with as many questions about the problem as possible. V. Mind Mapping-used to visually organize information into heirarchy. It features one main idea as the central point of the diagram, with subtopics branching out and connecting to supporting ideas. Some challenges that can arise during a brainstorming session include:  Disorganization: Without a clear agenda, conversations can become disorganized and fail to produce actionable ideas.  Lack of participation: Some participants may be quiet or independent, and may need to be encouraged to participate.  Groupthink: Groupthink can have negative effects on brainstorming sessions.  Peer pressure: Peer pressure can be a challenge during brainstorming sessions.  Personality differences: Personality differences can be a challenge during brainstorming sessions.  Focusing on problems: Participants may focus too much on the problems instead of generating ideas.  Criticism: Criticizing ideas too early can discourage creativity Question: Give at least 1 easy ways to brainstorm that is best for you to utilize in classroom activities.

A person who organizes, especially one who forms and organizes a group. GRAPHIC ORGANIZER - ANSWER  GRAPHIC ORGANIZER  Graphic Organizer Some of which are also called concept maps, entity relationship charts, and mind maps. are a pictorial way of constructing knowledge and organizing information. They help the student convert and compress a lot of seemingly disjointed information into a structural, simple-to-read, graphic display. The resulting visual display conveys complex information in a simple-to- understand manner. USES OF GRAPHIC ORGANIZER Construct writing projects, to help in problem-solving, decision making, studying, planning & brainstorming. TYPES OF GRAPHIC ORGANIZER  Star If the topic involves investigating attributes associated with a single topic, use a star diagram as your graphic organizer.  Spider If the topic involves investigating attributes associated with a single topic, and then obtaining more details on each of those ideas, use a spider diagram. This is like a star graphic organizer with one or more levels of detail.  Fish Bone If the topic involves investigating multiple cause-and-effect factors associated with a complex topic and how they inter- relate, use a fishbone diagram.  Tree If the topic involves a chain of events with a beginning and with multiple outcomes at each node (like a family tree) use a tree diagram.  Series of Event Chain If the topic involves a linear chain of events, with a definite beginning, middle and end, use a chain of events diagram.  Flowchart If the topic involves a chain of instructions to follow, with a beginning and multiple possible outcomes at some node, with rules at some nodes, use flowchart.  Venn Diagram If the task involves examining the similarities and differences between two or three items, use the Venn diagram.  T-Chart Diagram If the task involves analyzing or comparing two aspects of the topic, use T-Chart.  Decision Making Diagram If the task is making a decision, use a graphic organizer to enumerate possible alternatives and the pros and cons.  Cause and Effect Diagrams If the task is examining possible causes and effects in a process, use a cause-and-effect graphic organizer.  Pie Charts If the task involves showing divisions with a group, use a pie chart.  Story Maps helps the students to summarize, analyze and understand a story or event.  Character Traits Help the students show the aspects of a person’s behavior and attitudes that make up that person's personality  Cycle Map Describes how a series of events interact to produce a set of results repeatedly. Questions: 1.With the use of Graphic Organizer, can you develop a clear and organized writings?Why or why not? 2. Give at least 5 types of Graphic organizer that you can use to present your topic clearly.  APPLICATION Face to face Activity: Directions: Create a character trait organizer of the person that serves as your inspiration to keep going in life.
