What is Prewriting?
On this page you will find some prewriting strategies as well as forms and
templates for creating a workable outline and note-taking.
From www.thoughtco.com:
In composition, the term prewriting refers to any activity that helps a writer think about a topic, determine a purpose, analyze an audience, and prepare to write.
"The objective of prewriting," according to Roger Caswell and Brenda Mahler, "is to prepare students for writing by allowing them to discover what they know and what else they need to know. Prewriting invites exploration and promotes the motivation to write" (Strategies for Teaching Writing, 2004).
Because various kinds of writing (note-taking, listing, freewriting, etc.) usually occur during this stage of the writing process, the term prewriting is somewhat misleading. A number of teachers and researchers prefer the term exploratory writing.
