Prewriting Webs

Prewriting describes the brainstorming and organizing students do before writing. Once students choose a topic, they type it in the center of a web. Then they rapidly add subtopic ideas in symbols connected to the main topic. Each subtopic can have its own subtopics, which can also have subtopics, and so on.

When students are finished creating their diagrams, they can switch to the integrated Outline View to expand their ideas in written form. If writing is too difficult, younger students can use Kidspiration's Record tool to record words or sounds and attach them to a symbol, while older students use Inspiration's notes text to further develop their outline into a complete essay.
