What is an Idea Rake?

The Idea Rake is a table of contents or graphic organizer to provide students and teachers with a worksheet to generate ideas. It consists of a broad topic, followed by subtopics, and more details on the subtopics.

This type of worksheet has mutual benefits for students and teachers, as it is a more unconventional approach to learning. By the use of the Idea Rake, you can procrastinate ideas, organize a lesson, and provide a visual example to keep the learners focused.

7 Reasons to use an Idea Rake for your studies

• Visualize and construct ideas.
• Organize comprehensive material and/or sequence information.
• Generate broad and subtopics.
• Plan what to write for an essay.
• Increase reading comprehension and brainstorming.

And what better way to stop the creative block than by using diagramming software, such as MyDraw to help you quickly and effectively organize your thoughts?
