Question

April is going to write a story about summer weekends at the beach. So far, she has used freewriting to develop the following passage:

On the weekends, I ride my bicycle to the beach on the weekends with my friends. In the morning we play volleyball, and in the afternoons, we bodysurf. In the evenings, we have cookouts, watch the sunset, and sit by the fire.

Which prewriting exercise would help April to choose one topic from these experiences?

A.
brainstorming

B.
looping exercise

C.
hexagonal writing

D.
sensory word bin

Answer 1

The answer would've been B, looping exercise.

Answer 2

The correct answer is B. Looping exercise.

Explanation

A prewriting exercise is a writing strategy used to start writing about a specific topic adding the main themes and ideas you want to write about. For example, in the case of April, she wrote everything she did on summer weekends at the beach, however, her text is not so clear and she has scattered undeveloped ideas, so a prewriting strategy that could help her a topic from your experiences would be the Looping exercise. An exercise in which the writer takes a previously written paragraph and selects one of the sentences to develop it in depth, in detail, creatively and originally, to transmit clearly what he wants to express. So, the correct answer is B. Looping exercise.
