Discussion
With a partner, discuss how you might plan and organize information before writing a response.
What are some different methods of planning?

Your turn:
Pick a topic. Plan and organize information about your topic before writing.
After deciding what your topic is, write an eight sentence paragraph following the format we used in class.
Writing exercise
Begin with the writing prompt "I remember..."
Write for 6 minutes. Trust your mind. Words come out of your mind.
Now...switch it up. Begin with "I don't remember..."
Remember our rules of writing!
