The document discusses various pre-writing activities used in the writing process, including background activities, informal activities, and specific techniques. It describes brainstorming as an initial process for developing creative solutions to problems by coming up with as many ideas as possible without censoring them. Specific brainstorming techniques are outlined, such as word storms, word associations, mind mapping, and word banks. Rules for effective brainstorming include no criticism, welcoming unusual ideas, focusing on quantity over quality, and combining and improving ideas. Free writing is also described as a technique where students write without focusing on mechanics or revisions in order to get thoughts flowing freely.

In most languages, it is a complement to speech or spoken language. WRITING • The result of writing is generally called text, and the recipient of text is called a reader. PROCESS OF WRITING Pre-Writing Actual Writing Post Writing TYPES OF PRE-WRITING ACTIVITIES 1. Background Activities – These include drawing, talking, reading, interviewing, and acting which provide information needed in writing. 2. Informal Activities – These include the following: • Brainstorming • Free Writing • Graphic Organizer • Outline BRAINSTORMING It is [the initial] process for developing creative solutions to problems (Alex Faicknet Osborn, 1953). It focuses on a problem and deliberately comes up with as many solutions or ideas as possible. It is the process in which you list as many ideas as you can think of without censoring them. BRAINSTORMING It is [the initial] process for developing creative solutions to problems (Alex Faicknet Osborn, 1953). It focuses on a problem and deliberately comes up with as many solutions or ideas as possible. It is the process in which you list as many ideas as you can think of without censoring them. BRAINSTORMING It is a technique by which a group attempts to find a solution(s) to a specific problem by amassing ideas spontaneously (Osborn, 1953). It is a highly effective technique for maximizing group creative potential, not only to generate ideas but also to determine which ideas are most likely to succeed in a specific area of interest (Baumgartner, 2007). Brainstorming Techniques Word storm. A word storm is where you write down the words that come to mind when you see another word. Brainstorming Techniques Word associations are the same as a word storm, except that you don’t group according to how the words are related to each other. It works better as a technique to get creativity flowing when you don’t want to bother with over- thinking how words are related. Brainstorming Techniques Mind mapping. Using a mind map is a way to visually organize data and information. Mind mapping has proven popular, particularly if you are better able to understand data visually instead of as lists or outlines. Organized around a central idea, a mind map works like the branch of a tree. Ideas and then sub ideas that are associated with the main idea branch off from the central idea. Brainstorming Techniques Brainstorming Techniques Word Banks Word banks are collections of words based on the kind of word you need based on a specific topic or theme. This kind of brainstorming technique works well for copywriters who want to find a variety of words that suit a specific project without repeating themselves. You can also use it to build a bank of words to keep on hand when writing your headlines. Brainstorming Techniques BRAINSTORMING FOUR RULES TO FOLLOW (John Michael Pierobon) 1. No Criticism 2. Welcome Unusual Ideas 3. Quantity Wanted 4. Combine and Improve Ideas FREE WRITING • It is a technique in which students begin to write and let their thoughts flow from their minds to their pens without focusing on mechanics or revisions (Avenilla, 62). • The goal is the process, not the product. • This may be observed in two stages: (1) unfocused free writing, and; (2) focused free writing. TOPICS • Bullying and Anti-bullying • Climate Change • Martial Law • Terrorists / ISIS • President Rodrigo Duterte TASKS 1. Free-writing for 2 minutes (Individual). 2.
