Mod-31
Listing ideas, or brainstorming, is a good way to figure out what you know and what questions you have. A list can be a source of ideas and a springboard to new ideas. A list can help you see the emerging organization of your ideas and your paper.
Click Submit after each text box to submit your answers to your instructor’s gradebook. You may review your answers by returning to this activity at any time. (An activity reports to the gradebook only if your instructor has assigned it.)
- Write ideas in the order in which they occur to you.
- Rearrange ideas freely. Delete some ideas and add others.
- Group ideas under general categories:
most important/least important
arguments for/arguments against
what I know/what I need to know
- Expand the ideas with more exact phrasing and add examples or counterexamples.
- Look for a tentative thesis, a specific claim, lines of reasoning, examples, or supporting evidence.
