BRIEF INTRODUCTION
Information may be selected and organized to achieve a particular
purpose. By using helpful learning tools and techniques to select, organize,
or simplify complex information, you facilitate understanding through an
exploration of the relationship between concepts.
While you are working on a particular technique in selecting and
organizing information, it is best to ask yourself, “What are you doing?” and
“Why are you doing it?”. Answering these questions will help you identify the
most appropriate mechanism to organize your ideas to achieve or show your
intended purpose.
DISCUSSION
Use of strategies in selecting and organizing information like
brainstorming, using graphic organizers, and outlining facilitates cognitive
5
processes and improves comprehension. As vital tools for active learning and
deeper understanding of content, it is important to be able to break down
bigger ideas into smaller, simpler representations that are easily
comprehensible. The following are some techniques that aid in selection,
organization, and retention of concepts and their relations.
1. BRAINSTORMING – Brainstorming is a technique to generate ideas
within a group or individual setting. It provides a quick means for
tapping the ideas and concepts of an individual or of a group then helps
establish patterns and develop relationship among these concepts. Tools
in brainstorming:
a. Idea list - Start by listing down broad topics then go on by
identifying related, narrower topics.
Topic
Global health
issues
Narrower Topic
COVID-19 global
pandemic
Even Narrower Topic
Effects of COVID-19 in
business and economy,
travel and tourism,
education
b. Concept map – Begin by writing the main concept at the middle and
then adding more branches for its subtopics. Explore more topics by
adding more branches.
Tiredness
Wash hands
often
Stay home
Prevention
Symptoms
COVID-19
Keep safe
distance
Fever
Dry cough
2. OUTLINING – Outlines serve as a road map or blueprint when writing. It
helps organize the ideas as it shows the hierarchical relationship or
logical ordering of information. There are two ways to write your outline:
a. Topic outline – uses words or phrases as headings, without
punctuation
b. Sentence outline – uses full sentences
There are four principles in creating an effective outline:
a. Parallelism – putting the words in the same grammatical order
(parallel grammatical structure)
b. Coordination – arranging ideas according to their value or
importance; ideas of the of the same relevance or value are labeled in
the same way;
c. Subordination – arranging ideas in levels of significance: major and
minor
d. Division – separating the kinds of points you are making by using a
consistent basis of division and distinction

I. Economy
A. Travel and tourism
1. Suspension of domestic and
international flights
2. Closure of hotels and resorts
B. Business
1. Closure of business establishments
II. Education
A. Adoption of alternative delivery modes
1. Transition to online or blended learning
B. Change in academic calendar
3. USING GRAPHIC ORGANIZERS – Graphic organizers are visual and
graphic displays that show the relationships among concepts or ideas.
There are many different kinds of graphic organizers depending on the
type of information being organized. Some are given below:
ACTIVITIES
ACTIVITY 1. Using Brainstorming Tools
1. The World Health Organization reports that the healthcare system in the
Philippines is “fragmented” (WHO, 2018). An unequal access to health
care services are experienced by the poor. Create an idea list of ways on
how the government could reduce health inequities and provide more
access to quality healthcare services among the poor and disadvantaged
group.
2. You are planning to write an essay about the most urgent health-related
concerns in your barangay. This as the main topic, create a concept
map that illustrates the causes, effects and preventive measures against
every concern identified.
ACTIVITY 2. Outlining and Using Graphic Organizers
4
1. With Mental Health during the Pandemic as the main thesis, create a
topic outline that has this three main ideas: nature and importance of
mental health, symptoms of failing mental health, and strategies in
protecting one’s mental health during the pandemic.
2. Using any graphic organizers, make a visual representation of how
important getting reliable information is during the pandemic and how
to acquire them.
CHECK YOUR UNDERSTANDING
Make a research and trace the development of COVID-19 situation in
the Philippines by creating a timeline of important events from the time the
first case of the disease was recorded in the country until the situation
today.

LOOKING BACK TO YOUR LESSON
Question: Reflect on what you have learned in Lesson 1. Why is it important
to carefully select and organize information whenever you are writing?
Answer:___________________________________________________________________

BRIEF INTRODUCTION
As a writer, it is important to arrange your ideas in a text according to
your purpose in writing. Are you narrating an event, showing cause and
effect, defining a term or comparing or contrasting items? Your purpose
suggests a method of organization or logical arrangement known as the
pattern of development. It could be a way of logically organizing the whole
text or a just an individual paragraph.
DISCUSSION
There are different patterns by which ideas are developed. Some of the
major ones are discussed below:
1. Narration – refers to a sequential telling of a story or recounting of a
series of events
2. Definition - Explains an idea, term or phrase using distinguishing
characteristics or synonyms. It is used to set working generalizations
that help control the meaning and scope of important terms or ideas
(Perelman, et al., n.d.)
3. Description – similar with narration for having many specific details,
description “emphasizes the senses by painting a picture of how
something looks, sounds, smells, tastes, or feels. Description is often

used to establish a mood or atmosphere” (Bedford, Freeman and Worth,
2019, p.2).
Comparison and contrast – compares two things to highlight their
subtle similarities and differences. The author's intent is to describe a
connection between two things by showing their distinguishing and
shared attributes (Bohaty, 2015).
Sequence – describes steps, events, processes, or procedures. There are
three types of Sequence: steps, timeline, and cycle. Regardless of the
type, the author is putting information in an order (Bohaty, 2015, p. 40).
Cause and effect – shows the linkage of causation – how events are
influenced or caused by another. “The author's intent is to tell us how an
event always leads to an outcome. The event is the cause and the
outcome is the result. The relationship is between the cause and the
effect” (Bohaty, 2015, p. 40).
Problem and solution - divides information into two main sections, one
that describes a problem and one that describes a solution. Here, the
author’s intent is to discuss or propose a solution to a problem. The
relationship between the problem and the solution is explored (Bohaty,
2015).
