For this first pre-writing activity I created a web that started with my very first teacher and extended out to all the people who helped me with my first reading and writing experiences. This helped me with my scattered thoughts, I was able to organize them enough to get my ideas flowing.
The second pre-writing activity activity I did was the time line. Through this activity I was able to recall events in a more organized way. Also from doing this I recalled more memories that I thought I would be able to, the small details all came flying back to me. This was my most preferred method.
