Write Like a Pro: Plan and Organize

Before you start writing, take time to plan. Good writers organize their thoughts so their writing is clear and easy to follow.

  • Brainstorm ideas and choose your main point.
  • Create an outline to organize your paragraphs.
  • Use graphic organizers like mind maps or charts.
  • Check your plan before you start your draft.

Planning saves you time, reduces stress, and helps your writing shine!

Examples

  • Creating a mind map before writing a research report.

  • Using an outline to organize an argumentative essay.
