Brainstorming for ideas

You probably already have a number of your own ideas about the aspects you want to include in your essay. Before you begin reading/noting, ask yourself:

• Who? What? When? Where? Why? How? to formulate questions linked to the key words in the question.
• Why are these aspects significant?
• How do they impact on issues or factors identified in the key words?

Jot down a list of your ideas for each of these questions (and for any other questions you consider relevant).

This brainstorming will form the basis for your initial plan.
