Students often feel puzzled about how to generate good ideas on an essay topic. This paper explores several pre-writing activities as a solution to such a problem. Compared with the traditional teaching pattern, these effective ways have the following advantages: (1) They help students stimulate thoughts for getting started and make writing easier; (2) They help students remove the mental block and distraction that prevent ideas from coming out; (3) They help students write in a more motivating and stimulating way instead of pondering over an essay topic alone; (4) They help create a cooperative and enjoyable atmosphere in the writing class.展开更多
