Brainstorming is a group creativity technique by which efforts are made to find a conclusion for a specific problem

by gathering a list of ideas spontaneously contributed by its members.

METHODS IN BRAINSTORMING

1. Creating an IDEA LIST- listing ideas about a particular topic

2. Creating an IDEA MAP- write the big idea at the center, add related ideas by writing down in a circle near the big
idea and draw a line connecting the two.

evaluate the ideas.
