READING AND WRITING SKILLS
In this module, you will distinguish between and among
techniques in selecting and organizing information.
Specifically, this module will help you to:

• justify the choice of a certain technique to make a cohesive


presentation;
•practice brainstorming techniques;
•illustrate the different types of graphic organizers;
•explain the difference between a topic and a sentence outline;
•make a cohesive presentation using different graphic organizers
1. Carlo and his groupmates are coming up with a project proposal to help curb the
spread of the COVID-19 disease in their barangay. He facilitated the discussion and a
lot of ideas were generated from his groupmates. After careful analysis, the group
selected the most appropriate project the group will enact. What technique in
generating and selecting information is involved in this situation?
a. Outlining b. Brainstorming
c. Summarizing d. Using Graphic Organizer

2.The teacher orders the class president to prepare a graphical list of their newly
elected class officers. What is the most appropriate graphic organizer should the class
president use?
a. A network tree to show the hierarchy within the organization
b. A problem-solution map to outline the challenges faced by the officers
c. A sequential episodic map to illustrate the voting process they undertook
d. A descriptive or thematic map to show the names and functions of the officers
3. What is NOT a correct description of outlining?
a. Outlining shows the relationship among ideas in your writing
b. Outlining constructs an ordered overview of your writing
c. Outlining presents your material in an illogical form
d. Outlining defines boundaries and groups

4. Which is not a basic feature of an outline?


a. Subordination c. Parallelism
b. Multiplication d. Coordination
5.The following describe the importance of carefully choosing the
techniques in organizing information, EXCEPT:

a. It clarifies or simplifies complex information


b. It helps to recognize patterns and compare perspectives
c. It helps to avoid the messy but important work of surfacing key insights or
conceptual understanding
d. It constructs understanding through an exploration of the relationship
between concepts
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.
• How do you start writing?
• How do you organize your ideas?
• Are you using any techniques in putting your
thoughts into writing?
• Writers need to have a plan.

• The plan must include the topic to write about and the
style to use in writing.
• The writer will be able to have a good text since the
details of the writing are planned.
Use of strategies in selecting and organizing information like
brainstorming, using graphic organizers, and outlining facilitates
cognitive 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.
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
2. Outlining
Outlines serve as a road map 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
Topic Outline
I. Choose Desired Colleges
A. Visit and evaluate college campuses
B. Visit and evaluate college websites
1. Look for interesting classes
2. Note important statistics
a. Student/faculty ratio
b. Retention rate
II. Prepare Application
Sentence Outline
I. Man-made pollution is the primary cause of global warming.
a. Greenhouse gas emissions are widely identified by the
scientific community to be harmful.
b. The burning of coal and fossil fuels are the primary
releasers of hazardous greenhouse gases
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
Whenever possible, coordinate headings should be expressed in
“parallel” form. That is, nouns should be made parallel with nouns,
verb forms with verb forms, adjectives with adjectives, and so on.
In outlining, coordination is a principle that enables the writer to
maintain a coherent and consistent document. Coordination means items
of equal significance have comparable numeral or letter designations; an
“A” is equal to a “B”, a “1” to a “2”, an “a” to a “b”, etc.
In order to indicate relevance an outline uses major and minor headings.
Thus, in ordering ideas you should organize material from general to
specific. This principle creates a clear articulation of the relationship
between parts in the outline
In an outline, every “level” needs at least two parts. In other
words… There can never be an A without a B, a 1 without a 2,
an “a” without a “b,” et
3. Using Graphic Organizers
Graphic organizers are visual and graphic displays that show the
relationships among concepts or ideas. There are different kinds of
graphic organizers depending on the type of information being
organized. Some are given below:
Direction: Match the items in column A with the
given description in column B.
____1. Brainstorming A. A principle of separating ideas using a consistent
distinction
____2. Graphic Organizer B. Process of generating ideas from an individual or
group
____3. Outlining C. A method usually used in writing to categorize
points and organize paragraphs
____4. Parallelism D. A principle in arranging ideas based on their level
of significance
____5. Subordination E. Tool used in visually representing ideas
F. Use of same grammatical form or words
Give your own ideas about the different problems as a teenager,
you are facing and add its effects to you.
