Multiple Select

What are some of the ways we can prewrite? Choose 3 of the answers.

• Brainstorm

• Outline

• Asking your neighbor

• Venn Diagram

Semantic Map

A semantic map is a web-shaped diagram that is a good way to help you assemble ideas for your writing. In the center of the web, you place your most general topic. The arms of the web contain more specific information about your main topic. In the example below, fruit salad is the main topic. The words in the web's gold boxes show each fruit that the writer could write about.

Multiple Choice

What is a semantic map?

• A Venn diagram, just with more circles

• Squares, squares everywhere

• A web-shaped diagram with the central idea in the middle and other ideas branching off of it

• A type of outline

Concept Map

A concept map is a special form of a web diagram for exploring knowledge and gathering and sharing information. A concept map consists of nodes or cells that contain a concept, item, or question and links. The links are labeled and show direction with an arrow symbol. The labeled links explain the relationship between the nodes. The arrow describes the direction of the relationship and reads like a sentence.

Multiple Choice

What is a concept map?

• A web diagram with arrows pointing to the next point

• A type of brainstorming activity

• A map of the country of concepts

• Another word for a treasure map

Clustering or Webbing

Clustering or webbing is a nonlinear activity that generates ideas, images, and feelings around a starter word. As students cluster, their thoughts tumble out, enlarging their word bank for writing and often helping them see patterns in their ideas.

Multiple Choice

What is a web cluster?

• When you draw a spider web.

• When Spider-Man's web shooters get clogged

• A brainstorming idea where the ideas are all connected

• A confusing jumble of words

Sequence of Events Chain/Story Map

A sequence of events chain or story map is used to describe the stages of something (the life cycle of a butterfly); the order of steps that tell how to do something (how to fly a kite); a sequence of events (how the Pilgrims first came to America); or the goals, actions, and outcomes of a character in a story (the adventures that Alice had while she was in Wonderland).

Multiple Choice

What is a sequence map?

• A map of the country of sequence

• A map that tells you what happened completely out of order

• A graphic organizer that tells you how to do something, the order, sequence, or goals of character

• A new type of outline
