5. Another way to PreWrite: 
3) 
Asking questions: 
Select a subject you know about, then use the newspaper reporter's question words to generate information about that subject. Here's an example:

Baseball:

who: players, coaches, umpires, fans, .
 . .
what: play ball! bats, balls, mound, bases, backstop, hot dogs, baseball caps, uniforms,
 . . .
where: arena, field, Wrigley Field, back lot, school,
 . . .
why: fun! money for pros, fun to watch, for the hot dogs, The All-American past time, exercise, get outside
,
when: summertime, night games, day games, weekends, recess, P.E. . . .
Now you pick a topic and list answers to each of the "W's" 
another sport      a holiday      a event     a . . . . . . 

This is a sample of a web for prewriting.

To here:  We did not do focused freewriting for "rain."  We did not do questions.  We did a web for "pain."
