Journalistic Questioning

Journalistic Questioning is a way of thinking of ideas. You need to ask these questions:

• Who - is doing this? - is going to do this? - did this?
• Why - are they doing it? are they going to do it? - did they do it?
• What - is it for? - will it be for? - was it for?
• Where - is it happening? - is it going to happen? - did it happen?
• To whom - is it happening? - is it going to happen? - did it happen?
• When - is it happening? - is it going to happen? - did it happen?
• How - are they doing it? - are they going to do it? - did they do it?

You can use this system of generating ideas to help you fill in mind-maps. You can also use brainstorming.
