Why brainstorm?

Getting Started on the Essay Topic

Deciding what to write about

Look at the information you've been given

University is not like A-levels! We want to see you come up with your own ideas and defend them in your academic essays. You are supposed to be developing critical thinking skills - research and essays help this process.

1. What are you interested in?

2. What do you know?

3. What don't you know?

4. Ask a question - what do you want to know?

Have you been given an essay topic?

Have you been given several options?

Open topic?

If you're still stuck...

You will have to come up with your own approach, ideas, and argument.

Brainstorming is about coming up with ideas - lots of them - with no wrong answers.

Read more and try the Medici effect. If really stuck, ask instructors for advice.

It lets you get messy. Use lots of paper and colours. Get creative to generate ideas.
