Advertising. I know I have to write about advertising. What do I know about advertising? I know you have to market a product to a specific audience. Advertising is used to sell things like soft drinks or cars. I think I need to narrow down my choices of what to advertise. Advertisements can be written, heard, or seen. Should I have a visual advertisement on a new bread or energy drink?

Which prewriting strategy is shown above?

Brainstorming
Rewriting
Clustering
Journalistic Questions

My answer is Journalistic Questions

Nope. Sounds like a brain agitating to me.

Would that be because the thoughts are just thrown out until the end?

yes, predominately. The brain is spewing random related thoughts, almost like a crazy mouse ride at the amusement park. One direction, then another, then circles, then I don't know, then another direction.

Thank you

Correct! The prewriting strategy shown above is Journalistic Questions. In this strategy, you are asking yourself questions to gather information and generate ideas. By considering different aspects of advertising such as the target audience, types of advertisements, and specific products, you are exploring different angles and possibilities for your essay. Good job!
