The day started off well. We were given 5 topics to brainstorm. My group members and I decided to brainstorm on 100 ways to kill a cockroach, 100 ways to squeeze a lemon and 100 ways to cross the road. I didn't expect all of us to be imaginative and creative. We came up with the most ridiculous ideas but it still made sense and some were hilariously offensive. All of us decided to draw a mind map instead of listing our ideas in point form. The flexibility of mind maps helped all of us to think divergently and convergently. Also, mind maps boost productivity by allowing free flow of ideas. When brainstorming without drawing a mind map, our mind will start to wander and we will get distracted easily. Therefore we decided that mind mapping was a great way to add structure to brainstorming session and visualize ideas. For easy visualization, we also started illustrating our ideas.
We were having a hard time communicating with each other at first as we didn't really know each other that well. But after exchanging ideas we soon discovered that our ideas were almost similar to each other. We really had a great time laughing at our ideas as most of them were absurd. With different interests and backgrounds we were open to new ideas.
