TEACHERS GUIDE Extended Brainstorming

Michael Pohl initially outlined four components of traditional brainstorming: fluency, originality, elaboration, and flexibility. Later, Pohl extended brainstorming to include additional elements like curiosity, complexity, risk-taking, and imagination, with a focus on affective or "caring" thinking. The document then provides a table mapping different types of thinking-prompting questions to each component of extended brainstorming and whether their focus is cognitive or affective.

LEEP: Teachers Guide

Extended Brainstorming
Michael Pohl initially outlined four components of brainstorming that will evoke different
forms of thinking:
a. FLUENCY - How many ideas can you come up with?
b. ORIGINALITY - Can you come up with new, different or unusual ideas?
c. ELABORATION - Can you add on to someone elses idea?
d. FLEXIBILITY - Can you change or improve your idea after listening to advice?
The tool gives students the ability to discuss issues and ideas at a deep level. Pohl later
extended the brainstorming process to include an additional four elements (i.e. Curiosity,
Complexity, Risk Taking, Imagination) with an affective (caring thinking) focus.
