What is the brainstorming technique in essay writing and how does it help in beginning an essay?
Brainstorming is a technique where several people in a group give their ideas as they occur or an individual writes down thoughts randomly about a topic. For example, writing the word 'hobbies' in a circle and noting related ideas around it. This helps organize thoughts and makes it easier to start writing an essay.
