Brainstorming

For our next assignment for our seminar class we were to brainstorm our chosen chapters of The Tipping Point from our mind maps. To do this instead of working alone our group all got together and discussed three different chapters, all giving our own thoughts, ideas and suggestions of what we thought of the chapter and what was included in it.

I thought this was a good way of working within a group as it aloud us all to see how other people think and how they react to suggestions from the group. The good thing about it was that every idea counted, no idea was bad or dumb as put on the assignment brief. It was think I think that allowed everyone to say whatever they were thinking, as it all had to be written down. I thought all of us had an equal amount to say for our brainstorming session, everyone had an idea, no one was silent, their idea counted just as much as mine, and mine counted as much as theirs.

To do our brainstorming we set a time of about 15 to 20 minutes for a quick brainstorm of each of the three chapters that we all did and come up with as many ideas as we could for them. This was an assignment that was more of quantity than quality so we had to come up with as many ideas as we could.

We also had a few people who wrote down every ones ideas, this not only helped the first person to take a break but allow others in the group to take part just a little bit more by helping write on our brainstorming sheets.
