Additional Activities: Listing for Prewriting Listing is a powerful tool for generating ideas and for seeing connections between the ideas and your assigned topic. Directions: 1. Write your topic at the top of the page. 2. Write single words or short phrases that come to mind after reading and rereading your topic. Do not worry about connections or relevance; simply jot down everything that occurs to you. 3. Read the list carefully. Are there some items that seem to belong together? Group them, and assign a name to that group. Feel free to add to the list at any time and eliminate items that do not fit. 4. Write an assertion about each group: a description, its use, a saying associated with the topic, myths or legends associated with the topic. NOTE: Each of the above groups might become a section and/or major idea in the first draft of your paper. Topic: apple pie cider William Tell tarts the Big Apple apple for the teacher “an apple a day keeps the doctor away” applesauce Apple computers Adam and Eve red green apple butter core stem Delicious Granny Smith Cortland apple juice crab apple apple jelly Snow White Topic: 42
