I've never used discussing as a prewriting strategy before, so I'm not sure if we did it right. Or not. But we both talked a lot. The assignment is to write a paragraph that will teach someone to do something. Something not very complicated because we're writing only a paragraph. Not a whole essay. My first idea was to tell how to make brownies. Lynette thought this would be a good topic. But as I talked, she realized that I'd never done it. I'd only watched my brother. She said it might be better to teach something you've done yourself. I thought about this and decided she was right. So I'm going to write about how to change the oil in a car. I've done that plenty of times. And it's not hard to explain. Lynette thought changing the oil was a better topic than brownies, anyhow. That she needs to learn how to change the oil in her car!
