COMM 107 Chapter Notes - Chapter 2: Stormers
Document Summary
Brainwalking: brainwriting while standing up and moving around the room. Brainwriting: writing down an idea on a paper and passing it in a circle, where each person adds to the idea and then the original writer circles his or her favorite idea. Then, the ideas are shared with the group and brainstorming becomes easier and more productive. Generates ideas for a wide variety of creative challenges: questioning, metaphorical and linguistic, visual, wishing, role play, and fantasy. Keep you and your team going when you feel like giving up. Questions can be used to intimidate, deenergize, debilitate or initiate a process of laying blame, evading responsibility or finding fault. Keep you open to new possibilities when it seems like the project is impossible. Provide space for others to create their own answers. Help sell an idea, set agendas, be an effective leader. The number of questions and kind of questions that you ask is a creative exercise in itself.
