The Pre-Writing Process

What is Pre-writing

 Pre-writing is the first stage of the writing process, followed by drafting, revision, editing and
publishing.
 It is the time when students brainstorm their thoughts and ideas about a topic to prepare for
drafting.

Pre-writing process:

 Brainstorming
- this is writing idea that comes to your mind.
 Free-writing
- it is similar to brainstorming the idea is to put down into writing the ideas tht you think of so
that later on, you will be able to generate ideas and narrow them down into a single topic for
your paper.
 Clustering
- this technique provides a graphic presentation of your ideas, allowing you to visualize the
connections and relationships of your ideas.
 Focus on one idea
- for example, the topic, gender stereotypes, and bias are broad topics since there are a lot of
issues that can be subsumed in that topic. You can narrow it down by focusing on an aspect of
gender stereotypes and bias that you are interested in developing your paper.
 Knowing your purpose and identifying your reader or audience
- determining your purpose will help you communicate clearly your ideas to your readers, which
is the goal of all writing. Once you have determined your purpose, knowing your audience
comes next.
