Abstract
The preferred prewriting Invention strategies of advanced, average, and basic ability 11th grade writers were compared. Students (n =212) in classes of teachers trained in a writing workshop were instructed in the use of eight prewriting heuristics suggested as useful by theorists in the field of composition. The students were surveyed as to usefulness of the respective strategies. Preferences were compared by level of student and relative rankings of the strategies were compiled. Implications for classroom instruction are stated.
