3. Defination
• Prewriting is the first stage of the writing process. It is
important because it helps writers generate ideas for their
eventual written pieces.
• Prewriting helps writers lay a solid foundation for their
work, centering a piece's focus and organizing the order
of things.

4. Purpose of PW
• Prewriting helps writers prepare a response to a prompt
or stimulus. Through prewriting, writers can generate
ideas and then explore their generated ideas.
• This enables them to narrow their focus in order to
determine what specifically to write about in a first draft.

5. Example
• An example of prewriting is freewriting. Freewriting is an
exercise in which writers generate ideas without specific
structural rules or intentions. This is done in response to a
prompt or stimulus.
• There are a variety of prewriting techniques and
prewriting methods that writers use, including
brainstorming, freewriting, list-making, mapping, and
looping.
• By using one or more of these processes, writers are able
to develop ideas for a piece of writing and determine
which content best serves that writing and which is best
left out of it.

6. Pre writing process
• Brainstroming / Listing (list making )
• Free writing
• Mind mapping /Clustring
• Questioning
• Outlining

7. 1. Brainstroming
• Like freewriting, brainstorming involves generating ideas
that come to mind but engages both the right and left
sides of your brain. Some left-brain (linear) strategies
include lists and outlines, question and answer, reporter
questions, and cubing. Right brain (visual-spatial)
strategies include idea maps, clusters, t-charts, and Venn
diagrams.
• brain stroming = list

8. conti......
• When brainstorming, writers begin with a core idea and jot
down thoughts and ideas in response to it.
• Everything that comes to a writer's mind that might be
relevant to the piece that will be written gets noted down,
without worrying about organization.
• This process may involve the creation of a web (a central
idea in the middle of a page, with lines extending from it
on which the writer adds associative thoughts) or other
visual aids that help writers develop responses to an idea
to help prepare them for draft writing.

9. 2. Free-writing
• Freewriting is a writing exercise in which an author writes
about whatever they are thinking about, without stopping,
for a prescribed about of time.
• It is similar to stream-of-consciousness writing.
• freewriting is an entirely open form of writing.
• However, freewriting occurs in paragraph form.
• The only constrictions in freewriting are that the writer
must continue to write for a prescribed amount of time
and write about whatever they are thinking.

10. Contii...
• Freewriting is a common prewriting exercise.
• It allows the writer to get their ideas on paper without
worrying about spelling, grammar, or even topic.
• The writer should not pay attention to typos or read over
their work until the time is over.
• Generally, authors will begin with ten-minute freewrites. It
is often used to generate ideas for other written works,
like stories or poems.
• There are various forms of freewriting, including standard,
focused, journaling, and character response.

11. Purpose of freewriting
• Freewriting can be used by authors to generate ideas for
other writings, break through writer's block, and provide
practice using different voices or in different genres.
• Free writing = Paragraph

12. Example
• The following is an example of a sixty-second freewrite:
"The sun is bright today I need to clean the windows. How
do people's hands get so dirty? Thre's a lot t clean in this
house. Clean clean clean clean how much can i get done
before we leave town? I hope that the weather is nice out
there. There is no chance they will get me in the ater. I
can't believe it's already october there are christmas
things in the stores already. That stuff was there in
September. Too early. The holidays will be good. So much
better than last year."

13. 3. Mind Mapping
• Mind maps provide a structured way to capture and
organize ideas and information. They help users to
understand concepts by breaking them down into their
component parts. The technique is used to develop new
ideas, or to break down and better understand existing
information.
• Whether developing new ideas or organizing existing
information, mind maps help you see how information fits
together. Mind maps provide an expansive and flexible
structure to support your thinking.

14. Why it is important
• Mind Maps not only highlight important facts, but also
show the overall structure of a subject and the relative
importance of individual parts of it.
• They are great when you need to think creatively, and
can help you to make new connections between ideas.

15. Examples
• Imagine a person who needs to give a presentation on a
poem. They make that topic (the poem) the center of their
mind map. Then, they add related subtopics, such as the
speaker, the audience, the rhyme scheme, etc. From
there, they may add relevant details to the mind map, and
may even color code it to reflect how ideas go together.

16. 5. Questioning
• Questioning is an important prewriting technique that helps generate
ideas, explore different angles, and clarify your understanding of the topic.
Here are some ways questioning can be applied in the prewriting stage:
• Reflective Question( Ask yourself questions like: "Are my ideas well-
organized and coherent?"
• Audience Questions
• Clarifying Questions
• Remember, questioning in prewriting encourages critical thinking,
generates ideas, and guides your research. It allows you to explore
different perspectives, clarify your understanding, and tailor your writing to
effectively communicate with your audience.

17. 6. Outlining
• An outline is a plan for the paper that will help you
organize and structure your ideas in a way that effectively
communicates them to your reader and supports your
thesis statement.
• Outlining is a widely used prewriting technique that helps
you organize your thoughts, structure your ideas, and
create a roadmap for your writing. It involves creating a
hierarchical structure that outlines the main points, sub-
points, and supporting details of your piece. Here's how
outlining can be applied in the prewriting stage:

18. conti.....
• Identify the Main Topic
• Determine the Main Points
• Subdivide the Main Points
• Add Supporting Details
• Arrange the Outline
• Review and Revise
• Additionally, outlining can serve as a reference point
throughout your writing journey, ensuring that you stay on
track and effectively convey your message.

• Your prewriting will look very different from your final work.
