TECHNIQUES IN SELECTING
AND ORGANIZING
INFORMATION
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.
Brainstorming is one way of generating ideas by listing of ideas spontaneously. It
can be done individually or as a group. Through brainstorming, you can develop new ideas
and solve problems; think of it as a free association. Listing is a brainstorming technique. It
means writing down anything that comes to your mind about the topic.
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 In
Directions: From the information provided above about selecting and organizing information, answer the following questions precisely. Write your answer on another sheet of paper.
- How do you differentiate the techniques in organizing information?
- Why are these techniques important in selecting and organizing information?
What Is It 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:
1. Brainstorming 2. Graphic Organizers 3. Venn Diagram
4. Concept Map 5. Bubble Graphs 6. Outlines
What’s More
Activity 1: Poll
Directions: Using a scale of 1 to 5, measure how often you use the following techniques to select and organize information. Write a “√” to indicate your response. Write your answer on a separate sheet of paper.
Technique 1-Never 2-Rarely 3-Occasionally 4-Most of the Time
5-Often
Brainstorming
Venn Diagram
Concept Mapping
Outlining
Bubble Organizer
Activity 2: Identification
Directions: Below are situations about the different techniques in organizing information. Identify which technique is being described in each item by writing “A” for Brainstorming, “B’ for Outline, “C” for Venn Diagram, “D” for Concept Map, and “E” for Bubble Organizer on another sheet of paper.
_______1. Teacher Joy asks you to generate ideas by giving a list of ideas about the given topic.
_______2. You are tasked to compare the similarities and differences between public and private schools.
_______3. Your adviser is told to prepare a message to be delivered during the program at an English Camp. As a brilliant speaker, you arrange your ideas based on the topic, subtopics, and supporting details.
_______4. In this graphic organizer, you place the topic in the middle of the page, then jot down different ideas and sub-ideas.
_______5. This way of organizing information uses Roman Numerals for the main topic.
Activity 3: True or False Directions: Write “True” if the statement about the techniques in selecting and organizing information is correct and write “False” if it is not. Write your answer on your English notebook.
Brainstorming can be done individually or as a group. Through this, you can come up with new ideas and solve problems.
Outlining 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.
Venn Diagram is used when you compare and contrast things; it helps to visualize similarities and differences.
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.
Bubble Graphs are particularly helpful for visual learners as they allow writers to map out ideas spatially.
Techniques in selecting and organizing information.
1. Brainstorming list (listing)-listing possible topics and then sub listing what you could say about the topic.
- Graphic organizers ( Venn diagram, hierarchical topical organizer, and bubble organizer) are visual displays demonstrating relationships between/among facts, concepts, or ideas.
