Organizing Information
For our maiden voyage in this subject, we will learn about the techniques
in selecting and organizing information. Selecting and organizing information
are essential skills that senior high school students like you must possess. You
have to learn how to gather information since your teachers in all subjects will
require you to research certain topics or generate ideas using different
materials. Hence, important points must not be left out when dealing with any
material at hand. There are techniques in selecting and organizing information
that includes brainstorming lists, graphic organizers, outlines, etc.

What is It?
There is a need to select and organize information as these are essential skills that
senior high school students like you must possess. You’ve got to learn how to gather
information since your teachers in all subjects will require you to research certain topics
or generate ideas using different materials. Important points must not be left out when
dealing with any material at hand; there are techniques in selecting and organizing
information. These include using a brainstorming list, graphic organizers, and outlines,
etc.
Graphic Organizers such as concept maps and mind maps are important and
effective ways for organizing content and ideas. Since the graphic organizer is a visual
display, it demonstrates relationships between facts, concepts, or ideas. It guides your
thinking as you fill in a visual map or diagram. There are four basic graphic organizers: an
outline, Venn diagram, hierarchical topical organizer, and bubble organizer. A Venn
diagram is used when you compare and contrast things; it helps to visualize similarities
and differences. Connected organizational charts and bubble graphs are particularly
helpful for visual learners as they allow writers to map out ideas spatially. To create a
concept map, write your topic in the middle of the page, then jot down different ideas,
points, or facts related to or support your topic.
An Outline is another way of organizing information. It organizes materials
hierarchically and sequentially by classifying the main topics, subtopics, and supporting
details. Use “Roman Numerals” for the top-level, ‘capital letters’ in the alphabet for the
next level, ‘Arabic Numerals’ for the next level, and then ‘lowercase letters’ for the next
level.
Each numeral or letter is followed by a period, and each item is capitalized.
There are two general types of outlines-the sentence outline and the topic outline.
The sentence outline is done by using sentences, while the topic outline uses words or
phrases.
What’s More?
Selecting and organizing information is a vital skill in senior high school since you
will encounter subjects that will demand you to collect and organize information
efficiently. Hence, learning the techniques to employ is a must.
As discussed earlier, these are some of the techniques you can use when selecting and
organizing information:
