WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO BRAINSTORM? WHY?

In my opinion, the best way to brainstorm is "making a list", using the same term as we did in the last lesson.

I strongly believe that brainstorming is a necessary and really useful task to start the process of writing. Before starting writing, you need to have all your ideas available in order to classify them into paragraphs in the right way, using the most suitable connectors.

There are different types of brainstorming, however "making a list" is the one that I find more appropriate because you do not need to think about anything, you just have to write everything that comes to your mind. It does not matter the order, the connection between the ideas  or the accuracy of your thoughts; because these tasks will be held later in the process. 

I reckon that, during your brainstorming, you ONLY have to concentrate in PRODUCING AND CREATING IDEAS, forgetting about secondary tasks. Therefore, it could be useful to make a "second brainstorming" , called "mapping", so you can link your first ideas and, maybe, reject silly ones.
