Invention Strategies

What are three invention strategies that you use? Why are invention strategies important? How can you incorporate invention strategies into your I-Search and Writing to Explore assignments? What revision strategies do you use? Why are these strategies important? How can you incorporate them into your work?

Three invention strategies I use is outlining my ideas, freewriting, and collaborating a list of information that I know about a particular topic. Invention strategies are important because its the first stage of writing and invention strategies also help to organize ideas already know. By organizing ideas already know about a particular topic, one is able to organize ideas that need to be ressearched better. I plan on incorporating invention strategies into my I-Search and writing to explore paper by using the strategies listed to help me organize my thoughts better. These strategies wil also help me to formulate questions that I have leading to further research, bettering my paper.

The revision strategies I use after I have written my first draft is peer review and having someone read my paper aloud. When someone writes a paper, they know the message they are trying to convey but sometimes that message does not come off in a clear, understandable form. Peer review greatly helps this. Through peer review, the writer can understand how their particular message is being conveyed and what can be done to improve the clairity.
