Thinking

Pre-WritingTakes place before you write.It’s the way you gather ideas so you know

what you want to write.Any time you think about what you want to

put down on paper, you are pre-writing.

Whatever you call it…

Ideas are what you are going to write about. If it’s a story, an essay, a text or a letter. You fill your written communication with ideas.

Ideas should be INTERESTING and RELEVANT.
