寫作前準備 (Prewriting)   

    當你提筆寫作時，會否感到腦中一片空白或不知從何開始？在一連幾節課中，你將會學習到一些組織資料及意念的技巧，令你寫作時更易表達自己的思想和論點。

第五課 Clustering  （串聯）


    這是串聯你的意念，由一小組變成一幅圖像。先將題目寫在紙的中間，用線圈起，然後把聯想到的字詞寫出來，直至你想不到為止，完成後再看看那些資料有用。

例子：

    Here is an example of clustering. From this prewriting, the writer could develop an essay about the Lunar New Year Parade in Hong Kong.

crowded - line the streets			policemen
applauding			block some streets			Magic – clowns
clapping
Onlookers & tourists			Last an hour			Dance – native costume		Music – band e.g. Mexico, Chinese
			Lunar New Year Parade in Hong Kong
Lion Dance			Holiday			Matches		throw flowers
Dragon Dance			Moving one by one			floats		different countries
			moving by people or engines			national symbols

活動教室：

    Choose one of the topics or choose your own topic. Then use clustering to map your ideas about it. Start with your topic in the middle of the page and work out from there.

    As a class, ask some students to write down their ideas on the broad. Then discuss them with the class.
