Presentation transcript:

Prewriting and Invention “The human mind once stretched by a new idea never goes back to its original dimensions.” -Oliver Wendell Holmes

Brainstorming Captures a multitude of thoughts and ideas Often in list-form Social activity Focused and relaxed

Free Writing/Looping Scribbling down ideas without worrying about grammar, sentence structure, or even coherence Often lasts for a predetermined length of time (2 minutes, 5 minutes, etc.) Looping allows for cycles of freewiritng.

Clustering/Webbing Allows you to group or organize ideas in a visual way Shows relationships between groups and ideas

Diagramming

Outlining Shows the order and relationships between ideas Often hierarchical Can be followed too strictly

Chunking/Blocking Breaking ideas into “chunks,” or “blocks,” in order to help your reader understand your overall message More flexible than an outline Create headings for each “chunk” for yourself Helps with length

Other Strategies?

Practice! Brainstorming Freewriting/looping Clustering/webbing Diagramming Outlining Chunking/blocking
