Invention strategies

What are 3 invention strategies that you use? Three invention strategies that I use during my writing processes are: listing, freewriting, and brainstorming. I like to list keywords that I can potentially use during the research portion of the assignment. Freewriting allows me to properly visualize exactly how much do I know, what should I research more on, and how I can potentially organize my paper.

Why are invention strategies important? Invention Strategies are very important because it is a vital part of preparing a writing assignment. Without some of these strategies your wrting assignment can become confusing and less intriguing. I like to put these processes to use so I can clearly see how I am going to fabricate the writing assignment.

How can you incorporate invention strategies into your I-search and Writing to Explore assignments? By listing keywords such as Obama's campaign, McCain's campaign, low gas prices in America, and solutions to gas prices will allow for me to be prepared when I comes to research on my topic. I will be prepared to research, find more information, and possibly generate more keywords to search.

What revision strategies do you use? I like to utilize my peers as a great source for revision and my self, of course.

Why are these strategies important? In order to get feedback your work is important so you can make sure you are grabbing the reader's attention, approaching the topic correctly, preseting properly, and also for the more technical revisions (grammer and punctuation).

How can you incorporate them into your work? Once I have fabricated a rough draft, I will get one of my peers to revise my work. I want to make it clear that I want constructive critism and great feedback. By doing having one of my peers, such as my roomate, revise my writing I can see in what areas I may need improvement and see how does my writng affect the reader.
