  3. Pre-Writing Techniques • Brainstorming • Discussing • Free Writing • Looping • Listing • Outlining • Charting • Mapping

  4. Listing • “Listing” is similar to “brainstorming.” The idea is to write down as many things as possible. • Use single words or phrases, not sentences. • Listing works well for descriptive-type writing. • Don’t worry about spelling or sorting out “good” and “bad” ideas.

  5. Outlining • “Outlining” is a more organized form of pre-writing than the others we discussed. • It can be used after you have generated ideas through brainstorming, free writing, or other pre-writing techniques. • It works well for structured types of writing such as essays. • You can use complete sentences, but you don’t have to.
