This module includes readings, an exercise, and writing activities to help you develop strategies for creating and organizing ideas before you begin drafting.

You’ll need to work with the topic of your current writing assignment. That means you should already have a topic in mind before you begin this activity.

Note: Many students find it easier to focus if they work through the lesson in full-screen view (click on the double-sided arrow at the top right of this page ). Click that arrow or the forward arrow to continue.
