What questions did you ask yourself about your chosen topic during your prewriting process?
Is there help for partial amputees in the future? Take for example me, I am missing two fingers on my left hand, actually only half of the fingers are gone, but is, or will there be a prosthetic for a person in the future like me?
Looking at the amount of the injured that have come back from the wars, it has amazed me that the soldiers are so resilient compared to the past. There are soldiers today in the military that have prosthetics and they are in a position to get things done, what are the differences in today’s thinking in regards to a soldier that has lost a limb? Is the soldier going to be a asset or a hindrance in the future? Can they use them in a capacity that the soldier came from so that they can get their enlistment? Have they made the prosthetics so durable that normal people are requesting them?

How does mind-mapping prepare you for outlining?

Instead of writing on a physical piece of paper I get put into the computer so as to save paper and the inconvenience of setting up my printer. I actually use a small program called sticky notes to do the brainstorming sometimes, I found that program about 8 years ago and have used ever since. I actually have it on a small memory stick somewhere. It is a good way to organize your thoughts, you can move the pieces around until it looks right, or in the order that you want.
