Here are two beginning steps:
1. What is the question asking us? One possible way is to break the question down.
Example-Discuss whether aliens exist or not.
~Discuss-What is the question asking us to do? Discuss both sides of the argument.
~Aliens-What are aliens in today's society or known as?
~Exist-When were they said to exist or not?
2. "Warm Up Brain Cells"
~Brainstorming-What do you know about the topic?
~Mindmapping-More detailed/orgainised way of brainstorming.
~Speedwriting-Time yourself for five minutes and write as much as you can about the topic.
~Take a Break-Ask relative questions to your parents (or friends) or simply do something slowly (e.g jogging) and allow yourself time to think.
