According to my understanding, based on the prewriting assignment provided in week one discussion this method is used to organize and gather your ideas and thoughts in short details on a specific topic. It helps with brainstorming your thoughts , reflections, and choice of topic. In order to pre write it is best to ensure that you understand and choose a topic you are familiar with before you start writing , and arrange your ideas and thoughts into organized sections when beginning to write and being able to stay on topic and express what is in your mind are all important steps into the prewriting process. This method can help you in gathering your points, free write about the specific topic that can lead the assignment’s overall main idea, and most importantly in remaining concentrated and organized on the topic in a way where this technique can help you be able to start an outline and giving you guidance based on the topic you will be discussing .

Yujeris, this post does not address what is being asked here. You are being asked if you understand the prewriting assignment in Activity 10, what students have to do, and what the purpose of the assignment is. Do not rely on what you may have learned in the past about “prewriting.” This assignment has nothing to do with that. Just try to focus on the questions being asked in the prompt. Please repost when you can.
Also, when you post, please do not change anything in the “Category Sticky” box. Leave that as is. It will read “Select Category.” Don’t touch that. When students change this box, my directions get “unstuck” from the first position. Thank you!
Hello Yujeris, unfortunately I disagree with your posting on this week’s discussion board. From my perspective I believe that Professor Conway was giving us a thorough description of her expectations throughout the semester. If you look at each activity she’s explaining what to do vs what not to so when it comes to writing a thesis statement, an essay in MLA form, how to cite and etc. Furthermore, she also dissects how we will be utilizing primary sources and secondary sources throughout the term to help us better support the argument within our thesis statement.
