Pre-Writing• Line Clustering
– In line clustering you put the subject of the essay you are working on at the top.
– You then complete three steps to do a line cluster
![Page 20: Kaup Schafferver3](https://reader031.vdocuments.pub/reader031/viewer/2022022203/5876ba271a28abad1a8b6a25/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Line Clustering• LIST
– List all of the ideas that come into your mind regarding your subject
– You should list SIX ideas
• Each IDEA should have at least FIVE words in it

Line Clustering• LIST (Example)
– Subject: Dogs are my favorite kind of animals
• Very loyal and loveable all of the time
• Fun to play with both inside and outside the house
• They take a lot of care and attention
• Large dogs need much more space than small dogs
• Small dogs can stay in your lap and in your bed
• Small dogs can make neighbors more upset

Line Clustering• After you list everything
you then think of ways you can CATEGORIZE the things in your list together– Example from the left:
• Categories can be:• A: Benefits of Dogs• B: Challenges of Caring
for Dogs
– Subject: Dogs are my favorite kind of animals
• Very loyal and loveable all of the time
• Fun to play with both inside and outside the house
• They take a lot of care and attention
• Large dogs need much more space than small dogs
• Small dogs can stay in your lap and in your bed

Line Clustering• STEP THREE:• Label each of
your IDEAS in your LIST by the CATEGORY
![Page 24: Kaup Schafferver3](https://reader031.vdocuments.pub/reader031/viewer/2022022203/5876ba271a28abad1a8b6a25/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
