    WRITING 1

    Meaning Clusters

    Writing is our

    best way

    of communicating

    with ourselves and others.

     

    Writing can

    be shared and used

    to save many lives.

     

    Writing brings perspective

    to personal decisions.

     

    Writing captures

    fleeting thoughts

    before they

    are overwritten

    by more thoughts.

     

    Writing is essential

    for improving content.

     

    Writing uses

    nanosecond thinking

    abilities.

     

    By writing

    you create new standards

    and easier solutions

    to sticky problems.

     

    Your mind is like

    an overcharged

    battery that can

    discharge it’s contents

    on paper.

     

    Most ideas

    come too fast

    to be captured with

    our slow handwriting.

     

    We can capture

    more by writing

    a few words or

    phrases then

    making them into

    sentences later.

    WRITING 2

    Meaning Clusters

     

    Writing

    for the reader

    is the goal.

     

    Putting a pen

    on paper

    forces clarity

    regression

    rethinking

    and organization.

     

    Making new

    priorities helps

    you live a

    more stable life.

     

    Writing helps

    you predict

    possible surprises

    and disasters.

     

    Writing stores

    your thoughts

    in more locations

    of the brain.

     

    The tactile and

    kinesthetic memories

    reinforce visual and

    auditory memories.

     

    You can enjoy

    your abilities

    to review and remember.

     

    Without journal

    writing, much

    of your life

    can disappear

    into a blur

    of rapid fire events.

     

    Memories need

    triggering to

    be recalled.

    WRITING AN ESSAY

    Memory Clusters

     

    An essay is

    an organized presentation

    of your ideas.

     

    It must be organized

    and presented in a way

    that the reader

    finds clear and easy to follow. 

     

    Above all,

    it must consist

    of your thoughts.

     

    Read the topic carefully

    and think of your ideas.

     

     

     

    Essays need

    a clear introduction

    of the topic.

     

    Introductions should

    answer the topic

    and should be factual.

     

    The body of the essay

    can include examples

    to illustrate your points.

     

    Your ideas must be

    supported by evidence.

     

     

     

    The conclusion should

    give a summary of your ideas

    but should not just repeat.

     

     

    It should not

    repeat phrases

    from the introduction.

    WE HAVE UNBELIEVABLY

    FAST MINDS

    The human brain

    collects and

    quickly organizes

    mind numbing amounts
    of information.

    The mind

    rapidly converts

    new information into:

    understanding

    actions

    memory

    It is not instant.

    The chain reaction

    of neurotransmitters
    takes milliseconds.

    When is it needed?

    when you are in danger

    when you are listening

    when you are reading

    when you are speaking

    when you are writing

    The mind predicts.

    The mind fills in
    missing information.

    The mind

    is always thinking.
