Response Question:
Teaching Prewriting
Neman gave an example of an inventory of ideas activity. This activity was a prewriting activity in which the teacher goes around the room and asks every student to suggest something about the subject they are working with. Neman gives a list of advantages to this approach for example, “total participation builds widespread interest and the exercise also provides group practice.” She seems to be a firm believer in this approach because she does not give any downsides to it. What could be some disadvantages to this prewriting activity?
