information is correct and write “False” if it is not. Write your answer on your English
notebook.
1. Brainstorming can be done individually or as a group. Through this, you can come
up with new ideas and solve problems.
2. Outlining is another way of organizing information. It organizes materials
hierarchically and sequentially by classifying the main topics, subtopics, and
supporting details. Use “Roman Numerals” for the top-level, ‘capital letters’ in the
alphabet for the next level, ‘Arabic Numerals’ for the next level, and then
‘lowercase letters’ for the next level. Each numeral or letter is followed by a
period, and each item is capitalized.

similarities and differences.
