Migrant
Mother, by
Dorothea Lange
Questioning:
Start your prewriting
activity by
formulating
questions of this
picture. Write 10
questions

Example:
Why are the children
looking away the
camera?
Freewriting!
You have a writer in
you and you just
want to write so take
five minutes and just
write! Do not worry
about
commas, periods
, etc. Discover ideas
from the photo and
make up some
sentences!
Listing

Make a list of what
comes to your
mind, remember the
list is just about words
that tells about this
picture!



Example:
1. Poverty
2. Children hiding
   their faces
3. Etc etc etc
Clustering
Cluster your ideas! Your main circle
should say Migrant Mother
Outlining
Outline is helpful because
you write your ideas in
complete sentences..

Example:
The family is living in
severe poverty.
a. The mother is a
migrant--a poor farm
worker.

Continue with this and
add three more (b. c. and
d.)
Now you are ready!
• Most likely, no writer will use all techniques to
  write an essay but at least a few will make
  their life easier to begin writing it.
• Try it and you will see how easy your writing
  will flow! =)
