When developing a written plan,

a technique in which the writer
includes every detail as it occurs
is called what?

1. Writing a rough draft
2. mapping out
3. outlining
4. brainstorming

Would the correct answer be
brainstorming?

I think probably outlining would be a better answer for that.

"As it occurs" would suggest brainstorming

Now, Sissy, you get to decide. How will you interpret "as it occurs"?

If the question means writing ideas down as they occur to you, that's brainstorming.

If the question means making a written plan, including every detail as it occurs, that's an outline.

:) Writeacher and Gurublue are correct.

The correct answer would be outlining. When developing a written plan, outlining is a technique in which the writer includes every detail as it occurs. Outlining involves creating a hierarchical structure or framework for the plan, with main ideas or key points followed by supporting details. This allows the writer to organize their thoughts and ensure that all necessary information is included in the plan. Brainstorming, on the other hand, is a technique used to generate ideas and gather information before creating an outline or a rough draft. So while brainstorming can be a useful initial step in the planning process, outlining is specifically focused on including every detail in a structured manner.
