Invention Strategies

3 invention strategies I use: brainstorm, freewrite, concept map. Invention strategies are important because they let me explore my ideas and reflect. I can incorporate invention strategies into my formal assignments by using them to decide my topics, and go from there. These strategies help me decide what I like the most. I re-read my paper during the revison process and decide if I am clear, concise & answering my original questions. These strategies are important because I see if my thoughts are flowing properly. I like to comment on the sides of my paper. I like to have my paper read by a friend. I like to read comments from my peers--funny or brutal--because they say it like it is. If they have questions, I can answer them more clearly which ultimately strengthens my paper. I can incorporate this into my work by following my criteria and revising more than once.
