Abstract

This research note overviews the studies about prewriting activities during the 1960s and 1970s in English writing education in the United States. This research classifies prewriting activities into two categories: process approach and expressionistic approach. The process approach reveals stages for producing documents and instructs writers to do step-by-step preparation tasks. The expressionistic approach empowers writers to discover their subjects and gain ways of self-expression with daily activities such as keeping a diary. This research suggests that writing education researchers at that time tried to interweave in writing education the human qualities that people gain through participating in multi-cultural societies and developing their self-cognition and social understanding.
