techniques pre-writing

Hi!!! Last day in class we learned some techniques about how to write an essay. I will talk about the pre-writing technique that I have chosen. I prefer the brainstorming. For me it is the easiest because first you only have to make a list with ideas about the topic. Then you just have to start to write and connect the words that you used in the brainstorming. With the brainstorming you don't have to stop for think about the essay or about what write. You only have to write the first thing that pass for your head; words, ideas... And then you only have to catch a pencil and write...
