prewriting (format) | what type of writing are you going to do? - paragraphs - journal entry -letter -poem -fictional story |
prewriting (audience) | who are you writing for? -teacher? -parents? friends? the general public? |
prewriting (time) | how much time will be devoted to this project? |
drafting | the stage when the writer begins to record ideas in rough form. |
drafting (freewriting) | a technique where students write nonstop, capturing as many ideas as possible. |
