  4. Brainstorming Strategy #2:Clustering • Start with the middle circle and write your topic. • Write down random ideas. Use lines to connect these ideas. • Branch out to other related ideas. • See if there is one “cluster” or pattern of ideas and start from there. • This strategy works well with visual learners.

Write “I can’t think of anything!”—you will at least be moving your pen. • Once you start writing, your prior knowledge of the topic will be activated. The idea is this: as you write, the more will come to your mind.
