Writing Projects: Brainstorming and Mind Mapping

Dear Bridge Students,


First, We are having a Thanksgiving Celebration on Wednesday, November 24th. Please bring food, drinks, and plastic utensils.

The Class is also nearing its end (December 15th). I hope you have started working on your class writing projects.

This week, we learned how to use Brainstorming and Mindmapping for your writing. Why do we do this?

It is very important to plan and organize your writing. Try not to jump into the writing process without any kind of planning. Brainstorming and Mindmapping are two ways to organize.

First, write on a piece of blank paper all the ideas you have in your mind. This process is called Brainstorming. Don't limit yourself. Put them all down on paper.

Second, start narrowing down your ideas. By creating a mindmap, you choose specific topics from your Brainstorm and break them down even more.

Let me know on Tuesday if there is still confusion on how to do this. Remember the process:

Brainstorming ----> Mind Mapping ------> Write your Paper

Please check your Facebook for more mind mapping strategies.

Also, don't forget your homeworks on Tuesday. Enjoy your weekends!


Mr. B
