The idea of a brainstorm is to get the brain humming and generate ideas
about a topic by jotting down on a large sheet of paper words and phrases
that come to mind. Tell students to "Write everything they know about the
topic." Let their minds roam. Allow creative thinking. Stress that there
are no wrong answers in a brainstorm. If brainstorming in a group, there
can be a leader to encourage participation by each member of the group and
try to keep the ideas focussed on the topic.
