Planning Before Writing

Getting Ready to Write

Before you start writing, take a few minutes to plan your ideas. Use organizers like outlines, mind maps, or lists to sort your thoughts. This makes writing your paragraphs or essays much easier and helps your work stay organized and clear.

  • Brainstorm ideas on paper
  • Create a quick outline of main points
  • Decide on your topic sentence and supporting details

Examples

  • Drawing a mind map before writing a story.

  • Making a quick outline before starting an essay.
