Pre-writing Strategies

Hi all,

Last Friday we talked about the writing process. The term, writing process, would not seem to be familiar to you. But, yes! There is a process when you write. Even though you do not recognize every single step you make, there exist several steps to finish up writing.

First, we looked at a big picture when approaching to writing, and then we moved on how we get prepared for writing. We often call this first step 'pre-writing,' which literally means 'something we do before we write.'

In class, we also talked about specific strategies about prewriting, such as freewriting, brainstorming, and mapping & clustering, so we can actually practice the skills for writing. Hope these strategies work for you. See you next class.
