Step 1: Prewriting Worksheet
An important task in prewriting is exploring and expanding on ideas related to the prompt. After deciding on the topic for the essay, use prewriting techniques (free writing) to help the ideas flow freely. To further assist in developing the topics, create a detailed points-of-reference chart similar to the one completed for the practice assignment. Remember that when creating a points-of-reference chart, list as many details for each topic as possible. Include your own comments as well as factual details. Combining the points-of-reference chart with other prewriting activities will help organize the paper, find details, and formulate the thesis statement.
