Saylor URL: http://www.saylor.org/books Saylor.org 281 Chapter 8 The Writing Process: How Do I Begin? 8.1 Apply Prewriting Models LEARNING OBJECTIVE 1. Use prewriting strategies to choose a topic and narrow the focus. If you think that a blank sheet of paper or a blinking cursor on the computer screen is a scary sight, you are not alone. Many writers, students, and employees find that beginning to write can be intimidating. When faced with a blank page, however, experienced writers remind themselves that writing, like other everyday activities, is a process. Every process, from writing to cooking, bike riding, and learning to use a new cell phone, will get significantly easier with practice. Just as you need a recipe, ingredients, and proper tools to cook a delicious meal, you also need a plan, resources, and adequate time to create a good written composition. In other words, writing is a process that requires following steps and using strategies to accomplish your goals. These are the five steps in the writing process: 1. Prewriting 2. Outlining the structure of ideas 3. Writing a rough draft 4. Revising 5. Editing Effective writing can be simply described as good ideas that are expressed well and arranged in the proper order. This chapter will give you the chance to work on all these important aspects of writing. Although many more prewriting strategies exist, this chapter covers six: using experience and observations, freewriting, asking questions, brainstorming, mapping, and searching the Internet. Using the strategies in this chapter can help you overcome the fear of the blank page and confidently begin the writing process. Prewriting Prewriting is the stage of the writing process during which you transfer your abstract thoughts into more concrete ideas in ink on paper (or in type on a computer screen).

      Q: Hi I need a summary of these: What stood out most to me and is a concept I've been wrestling with the past couple years is the quote toward the end of the video: "...even trying our best to figure out whats true using our most sophisticated and rigorous mathematical tools, peer review, and standards of practice, we still get it wrong so often. So, how frequently do we delude ourselves when we're not using the scientific method?" Our conclusions on science, human behavior, social issues, and so many other things are often based on a medley of personal experience, second-party information, various clickbaity headlines, and rigorous science, with the quantity each takes up in our head decreasing as the list continues. With all of those methods riddled with inaccuracies stemming from confirmation bias, prejudice, limited sample size, the prosecutor's fallacy, and plain chance to name just a few, I've wondered how much of our worldview is an illusion or actively rebelling against the facts? What's worse, I also think of the amount of people (and their experiences) that I've dismissed or hurt as a result of those inaccurate perceptions. Whether it be misconceptions on racial inequality, socioeconomic privileges, career trajectories, etc., these are all issues we all as people collectively decide on both for ourselves and other people through day-to-day interactions and how we vote. Our impact as people is both embarrassingly miniscule and terrifyingly large, and I'm still struggling to make peace with the knowledge that even my best efforts will result in false claims, unfair assumption, and wrong decisions.
      Q: Which of the following sentences is the thesis statement? Select one: a. I put a tremendous amount of time and effort into typing that paper, and I would appreciate it if you spent an equal amount of time and effort grading it. b. If you understood how hard I worked on it, how much my friends liked it, and what a mistake you have made, then you would surely give me an "A." c. After finishing my paper, I gave a copy to my friends to read. d. Please allow me the opportunity to argue for a better grade.
      Q: Hi I need a summary of these please: Ronald Fisher, Carl Pearson, Francis Galton, Carl Brigham, Lewis Terman are five pioneers in statistics regarding technique but have questionable beliefs.  Apart from them is Dr. David Blackwell was one of the most famous African American Mathematicians. He had a great talent for making things appear simple in Mathematics, which I think is difficult because one needs to have the insight to make something complicated really simple. It's extremely impressive, Dr. Blackwell's honorable achievements in the field of Statistics. Article 1:  Fisher and Pearson popularized Statistics and currently, their inventions are an important part of the Maths/Statistics curriculum every Stats student learns about. Karl Pearson studied Mathematics at Cambridge he was also the head of the Department of Eugenics Science. Despite being a highly qualified scholar he made some shocking comments on mental illness and disabled people which in my eyes are disrespectful, making others feel inferior about their disability. His perspective on black and brown people having low genetic value versus white made his persona have racist characteristics. On the other hand, some horrific statements also made by Fisher are about eradicating black and brown people so-called " tribes with lower genetic worth" through the war so that the average genetic worth of mankind increases, cracks his genius persona from a human perspective. Fisher and Pearson modified Statistics towards their twisted views for example Fisher concluded genes for low fertility related to hard work and intelligence; Pearson concluded Jews as a variable for genetic inferiority even though in his study the Jews had exhibited higher income and savings. After all, as said we must only learn from them their positive Statistic techniques.  Article2:  The article talks about standardized testing as a tool for white supremacy. It was designed to find the racial achievement gap. Bringham designed the SAT to predict which students can do well in college and which would not. It is unfair but the SAT was to privilege white students as it was designed to be. Testing is a tool that may not benefit every learner, some learners like knowledge and maybe bogged down to getting demotivated for learning due to this design of judging supremacy. I agree with the fact that standardized testing is not a one box fit all approach, instead, we as a society must really work on changing our policies for a fairer education system, where diverse learners also get a fair chance. Article3:  Terman, a Stanford Eugenicist, is best known for developing the Stanford-Binet IQ test. This test was used to present IQ deficiency in Indigenous, Mexican, and Black communities, which supported the factor of racial intelligence. The results from these tests predicted that there were significant racial differences in general intelligence.
