Name and explain two types of prewriting.
Answer (2)
One type of prewriting is called brainstorming . In this type of prewriting activity, one simply writes down -- or brainstorms -- everything that comes to mind regarding a given topic. Anything, even if it doesn't seem important, should be written down during a brainstorming session.
Another type of prewriting is called **mapping **or clustering . This is a useful activity to do after a brainstorming session. Here, the writer will group together similar ideas. At this point, main ideas should start to come into focus.
Two types of prewriting are brainstorming and mapping. Brainstorming involves generating a variety of ideas about a topic, while mapping visually organizes those ideas to see their relationships. Both techniques are useful for preparing to write a well-structured piece.
