  1. Literacy Autobiography Invention Work, Part 1

  2. Brainstorming, Part 2 • Begin by simply brainstorming as long a list as you can of writing experiences that seem to you to have been interesting or significant. • Remember, these experiences can/should include out-of-school activities as well as those associated with formal education. • Make as long a list as you can, censoring yourself as little as possible.

  3. Selection and Detail • Select the SINGLE most vivid or interesting of your possible topics. • On a note card, list as many details as you can generate about this particular writing incident. List quickly, without censoring yourself. • “First thought, best thought.” – Jack Kerouac

  4. Paragraph Draft • Look for patterns among the specific details you’ve listed on card #2, ways to link them together and organize them. • Use the (somewhat) organized list of details on your first card to write whole sentences, actually a rough draft of a paragraph, on card #3. • Attempt to put the details in a meaningful order.
