		A paragraph is a basic unit of organization in writing in which a group of sentences develops one main idea.
		The writing stage is when you turn your ideas into sentences and you communicate them.
		To define the essay briefly, one can say that it is a piece of writing usually short (3 to 10 pages), written in prose, and that may be on any subject.

		Both of these techniques ask you to free-associate about your assignment or your chosen topic, writing down terms that occur to you as you "think on paper." Both methods then prompt you to look for and articulate the connections and relationships between the terms you have come up with.
		List, on a piece of paper, any and all words or phrases that occur to you in relation to your topic (or your assignment, if you are brainstorming to find a topic).

		If you get stuck, look at one of the list words and see if that doesn't trigger something new or if there's a general term (loaded abstractions like "power," "education," "culture," or "knowledge" are good examples) that keeps popping up and needs some fleshing out or isn't self-containing or self-explanatory.
