Independent Writing: Brainstorming

Today we went over the main steps of the writing process:

-Brainstorming: generating ideas
-Planning: organizing ideas
-Drafting: writing several versions of the essay
-Editing: Correcting mistakes in content, organization, grammar, vocabulary and mechanics(spelling, punctuation, capitalization)

This week we are going to brainstorm ideas on a new topic:

The Best Source of News
“Due to the development of new technology such as satellite communication and the Internet, we can get updates on the latest breaking stories as soon as they happen. However, some people argue that these sources mainly report unconnected events while newspapers or weekly magazines provide a deeper and contextualized analysis of the news, helping us understand what those events mean.”

What do you think? What is the best source of news (newspaper, cable TV, the Internet, magazines, the radio)?



Let's brainstorm the pros and cons of the different sources!

Need some help to get started? Listen to six people from different countries talk about where they get their news from.

Remember we are going to use your contributions to start working on the essay next week!

  1. In my opinion, the best sourse of news is the "RADIO".

    Not only the radio is a compaƱy, but also let you develop your own opinion about any topic.

    see you all, Fede cecca

  2. Knowing some capstone project ideas high school is something worth being thankful for. It is difficult to compose a capstone project in light of the fact that it includes much time and working. An understudy must need be center and genuine in composing to have the best venture.

  3. Get out a bit of paper and record each thought that flies into your head. Try not to think, simply let the musings stream and put them on paper. My Essay Help | QualityEssay.co.uk instructor used to suggest that and it truly helped when I required thoughts. I think its called brainstorming.
