// "There are few experiences quite so satisfactory as getting a good idea...You're pleased with it and feel good. It may not be right, but at least you can try it out." // // --Lancelot L. White //

Pre-writing will begin by you collecting experiences from a Who Am I? inventory in Penzu. Click here for your inventory.
 * Directions are provided in the assignment.
 * **Copy and paste the directions** from the link into your own Penzu entry and fill in the blanks.
 * **Email** your inventory to your "Collabo Partner **#3**".
 * Communications Collaborators should **leave comments** on the ideas they found most interesting or striking.
 * Optional: email your Penzu to Ms Manning by__ for feedback.

Now that you have collected some experiences and shared with your Collaborator:
 * **Find an interesting idea** to write about--one that meets the requirements of the assignment and lends itself to worthwhile mind traveling.
 * a specific subject + a specific feeling or feature = an effective focus or thesis
 * **Create a mind map,** either online or on paper, to elaborate on your focus (go to bubbl.us for the online option).
 * An outline will help you move through the drafting phase more smoothly than without.

After you have finished your mind map, you're ready for Part 2.
