Clustering!

Clustering is a prewriting technique that involves starting with an idea or topic, and “thinking out” about other subjects or information connected to that word or topic. You simply map your thoughts and the connections that are already inside your mind onto paper, and in doing so, you may form or create connections which didn't exist before. Below is an example of clustering using the thesis, underlined in red, as their topic--click on the image to see the example.
