Dear Dr. Rivera and Classmates,
Today we finished up Chapter 2 The Writing Process: Stage One. We learned about brainstorming, clustering and gathering information. In brainstorming we use the big six questions- (who?what?where?when?why?how?). It is an effective way to start. When you answer those questions, you just let your mind run free and jot your answers. Clustering is a strategy to organize and develop ideas. Gathering information takes the form of reading with underlining, annotating, and note taking. We discussed extra credit. I think it will be a big help to my grade. Its good to take advantage of extra credit, you might need it later on!

Brainstorming, clustering and gathering information was actually fun. If we really think about it, we probably have been practicing these writing strategies all along, and going through this exercise now we know what its called.
ReplyDeleteOut of the three things we learned today, brainstorming was my favorite.
