The purpose of the prewriting assignment is to help us organize their thoughts and ideas before writing up a draft, it serves the same purpose of an essay outline. It is a way to encourage brainstorming and planning to clarify the direction and structure of the writing assignment. In this case it would be used to identify key points, gather information to smoothly approach the topic in the best way possible. Our focus is on primary and secondary sources and how we identify them to my understanding. By reading “The Most Handsome Drowned Man” by Gabriel Garcia Marquez and the overview on the passage by Dean Rader, we would fully evaluate the passage from our own perspectives. Using our resources provided to us on how to create a thesis statement, inserting quotes into a literary essay, format and MLA citation to avoid any mistakes and make the writing process easier.

Hello Kelis! I also believe that this prewriting assignment is the building structure to help us organize our ideas when we finally start drafting our essays. I didn’t think of it as a way to smoothly approach the topic but now that you mentioned it, it does make it easier for us if we are to gather information beforehand and prepare for this essay. I really enjoyed reading your post and thinking for this discussion.
