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
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
