Game plan

1. Which prompt do you think you will select? why does this one appeal to you over the others? did any of the prewriting exercises account for your selection? how so?
A: I think I'm gonna chose the Option 4-food+adventure. Because of i don't really care about the food, so i don't have very specific memory about the food and I've never focused on my family's food. I just ate what my parents cooked. So finally, i chosed the food+adventure because though i don't have memory about food, but i still can talk about the differences between Chinese food and American food. Nah...i didn't do any prewriting.

2. Which mode(s) of writing will be most helpful to you in terms of creating content? will you primarily tell a story, compare and/or contrast or describe, for example? what other modes of writing/thinking will you utilize?
A: Based on my occasion, I'd better chose the compare/contrast because I'm gonna talk about the differences between Chinese food and American food. I may use example and description.

3.What specific details will you include for your reader? why are these details important? what will they accomplish?
A: I may use taste, smell or sight, pretty much all senses to describe the food. These descriptions make reader can really get into it, they can even feel the thing that writer described. I'll try to let them give all senses to the readers.

4.what "place(s)" or "scene(s)" will you try to recreate for your reader? Why are they crucial?
A: It's gonna be the restaurant. Yeah, I'll try to describe as much as I can to let reader feel they were in the same place that i was in.

5. Thinking in terms of a working thesis, what do you think will be your main reason for writing?
What are you hoping to accomplish in your essay?
A: Emm....my main reason for writing? Well, it's required by the professor i guess. Honestly, my goal is to get A on this paper. I'll try my best to write this paper.

6. What problems or struggles do you experience when it comes to writing? what plan do you have to overcome these difficulties?
A: English is my biggest obstacle for sure. I'm not worry about the content or the writing skill. I just need to handle the English problems, such as sentence structures, grammar, and vocabulary. I'll try to increase my reading which we are doing this everyday, and I'll remember some words everyday.
