Many of us have already had experiences with some or all of the prewriting techniques that we've reviewed in this lesson. We've also probably had varying degrees of success utilizing particular techniques. Please pick a strategy that you've used in the past and discuss either why it was of great benefit to you or why it wasn't so helpful. As a follow-up, were there any new techniques you saw, which you're thinking about trying this semester?

Please respond in at least one to two well-developed paragraphs (this means at least five sentences a paragraph), and remember to comment on at least one other person's post.
