This small win makes the writing process seem less intimidating and more attainable for even your most struggling writers. A brainstorm can help students organize their thoughts and think of important details before the hard work of writing begins.
Starting your writing with a brainstorming exercise is the perfect way to lay a solid foundation for your students’ writings.

Favorite Brainstorming Techniques for 2nd Grade Want to grab these brainstorming sheets and have more organized writings from the beginning of the writing process? Just sign up below and grab these three sheets. Writing Brainstorm Sheets For Better Writing Once the web is complete, the student can use the categories to build a well-organized and clearly outlined writing. Then, outstretched from there, you can see a “materials” bubble and steps bubbles. In the middle bubble, the student placed their topic. In the sample above, the student uses this method to organize their thinking for making s’mores. Then, add details to each of the categories. This strategy allows students to sort through the “closet” of their brains on a certain topic and create categories within that topic. I like using this brainstorm in 2nd grade to help students guide their thinking process when writing about a topic about which they know many details or have learned a lot of information. But, in the end, the results are the same: one large bubble that contains the focus topic, to which smaller ones with details, ideas, and words connect. The last brainstorming method I’m sharing with you today goes by many names: brain map, brain web, bubble map, writing web, etc. Love all these brainstorming ideas but want to have everything done for you when it comes to your writing lessons? Check out this chunky writing bundle! Bubble or Brain Web Brainstorm No matter how you choose to use this brainstorming method, your students will create a well-organized foundation for their writing pieces. Another variation of this brainstorm includes using the last box as a place for students to write their conclusion statement. In the sample above, you can see how the student wrote their topic sentence: My favorite snack is ice cream. Then, they supported their topic with details as to why that’s their favorite.įor procedural writing, students work to write the steps in each box. Then, moving from top to bottom, left to right, they add details to each box to support their main topic. When using for expository or procedural writing, students write the topic sentence in the middle box. I love using this brainstorming method in 2nd grade when we’re working on expository or step-by-step writing. This b rainstorming method has been around for a long time and for a good reason! It is structured to help students produce strong writings but flexible enough to be used in many different writing situations.

Like the brainstorming sheet? At the bottom of this post, I’m sharing FREE printables so you can easily use these in your classroom! Four Square Brainstorm During their writing, this word bank can serve as a reminder and a personal “word wall,” which they can reference for keywords. To take this brainstorming technique a step further, after students finish their drawings, let them create a mini word bank to describe the items they included in their drawings. For example, if you’re working on personal narratives, you could have a student sketch the place and some key details of what their narrative may include: sights, sounds, even smells. I like to call this brainstorming technique “Picture This,” which asks students to do exactly what the name implies… create a picture.įor this brainstorm, students first start with a picture of what they’d like to write about. The first brainstorming technique I want to share with you is probably the easiest to implement in grades k through 12.
