Can someone explain to me what the instructions mean and give me examples, please? Use pre-writing strategies for the following topics. You must use at least three different strategies. If you use the 'brainstorming' strategy you must supply at least 5 support statements for each topic. You do not have to write essays for each topic, just your prewriting strategies.

1. The mandatory school attendance age should be age 5.

2. All drivers should wear seat belts.

3. Bicyclists should not be allowed on the roads.

4. The best day of my life was when

5. The worst day of my life was when

6. Caring for puppies can be time consuming.

7. Harvesting the oranges is a huge task.

8. Our airplane flight was long and tedious.

9. A trip to the zoo is always an adventure.

Some common pre-writing strategies are:

Brainstorming: Write down all the ideas that come to your head. Most likely, you'll gravitate towards one specific idea to write about.

Clustering: Know what big factors fall under your specific topic, then organize your ideas into those big factors. Then pick one of the big factors.

Free-writing: Write about one specific idea for a period of time.

Looping: Looping happens after free-writing. After you finish writing, pick an idea that you would like to dig deeper in.

Venn Diagram: If you are doing a writing piece that requires compare and contrast, you can draw a Venn diagram to organize your ideas.

Pros & Cons List: If you are doing a writing piece that requires pros and cons, you can quickly make a list to separate your ideas.

Listing: Simply list all of your ideas.

5Ws & 1H: 5Ws is Who, What, Where, When, Why and 1H is How. Base all of your ideas on these questions. If you can't answer a question for an idea, then maybe you need to do some extra research.

Example:

1. The best day of my life was when...I won the spelling bee.
