Wh - questions
Asking yourself wh- questions about your topic can help you think through a range of possibilities.
What - Why - When
How - Where - Who
Add 'which' and 'to what extent', and you're on your way to generating great ideas!
This adaptation of a Rudyard Kipling poem 
can be a good way of remembering the wh- words:
I have six friends that serve me true
Their names are What and Why and When
and How and Where and Who.
There's more on how to how to use the Kipling method on the Creating Minds site.
