A Small Writing Guide

The cube technique can be applied at different writing stages. In the idea phase you can use it as a starting point for text, and later on you can use it to understand phenomena. 

1. Choose a word, a topic or a phenomenon.
2. Choose the topic freely and use the cube technique as an aid for completing a study exercise
3. Write the topic inside the cube and look at it from six different angles: describe, compare, combine, analyse, apply and debate.

At some point you might notice that some of the angles are related to each other. Not all angles are necessarily equally relevant. You can continue working by combining different angles together.

Can you find similarities? What kinds of themes did you find by using the cube?
