The purpose of prewriting is to help me understand how to write an essay. This will help me in planning the ideas that I want to write for my future essays. When writing pre-writing, it will help me improve my writing skills by first having a structure of the ideas that I will want to write about in the essay, then going through it again to add more things or change some things to make my writing better. This will also help me know how to write thesis statements and organize my thoughts. In the pre-writing, I can write down questions for my topic and then add answers for it to help me write down some ideas for my essay. I have to read two articles from activity 1 and 3 called “The Most Handsome Drowned Man” by Gabriel Garcia Marquez and “Overview of ‘The Most Handsome Drowned Man’” by Dean Rader. Also I have to read sample student essays from activity 10 to give me some idea on how to write the essay. Using the MLA Citation guide in my essay will help me know how to properly cite my sources.

Hi Jessica. Your thought on pre writing is very clear. I can totally agree with you, pre-writing helps me understand the assignment much better. I can also agree that prewriting helps when it comes to writing skills, brainstorming and just putting your ideas on paper first helps you plan out your essay better. Then organizing your thoughts and key points, get done way faster and easier. The questions on the side definitely help when it comes to feedback and having someone else read it!
