“Do the prewrite” Andy said to the class, “you won’t regret it”.
We learned that doing a prewrite would prevent us from writing unnecessary pages before you get to your point. However, a prewrite is something I wouldn’t have normally done before AP Lit and I had no clue what a “prewrite” entailed. I am the type of person who jumps right into a paper and words just flow out. After the prewrite was explained to my group, it made the world of difference in how we approached starting our essay. Our prewrite contained each chapter we chose from the how to book, Fosters explanation, and examples for Beowulf and Going after Cacciato. We knew exactly what was going to be discussed in the paper and how each book compared/contrasted with each other. I feel much more confident and prepared about our summer reading paper. I am still a little leary of the format of the essay and not making it sound repetitive since the paragraphs follow the same layout. However, I’m glad we are in groups for this essay, being able to discuss the books and gather information from others helps to clear up confusions we had. Prewrite is important for all writing
