PRE-WRITING: Gather and Sort Ideas

Gather and Sort Ideas

Prewriting can come in many styles and forms.  In our class, I will assign you pre-writing after you have had time to read the topic for our upcoming writing, and I will be asking you to turn in a brief, one-page outline (NOT in full sentences--it needs to be fragmented ideas, brief and to the point) to show your prewriting for this stage in the Writing Process.  However, before you construct your outline, you may want to try out these other forms of prewriting.  You will also see a section that is on outlining itself if you are unsure what to do with an outline.
