Step #2: FREE-WRITING

Now you will write about those words generated in your clustering from Step 1. While doing that process, you probably already have an idea what you want to write about. When you write, don't think about grammar, paragraphs, or organization. Just get everything out of your brain and ONTO paper! (or your computer screen)

Note: It's very IMPORTANT with this second step that you DO NOT be concerned with grammar, paragraphs, or organization. That is where the 3rd step will come in. And it's o.k. if you don't use all the words you generated with your clustering.
