The effects of 3 methods of prewriting organization on revision of compositions using word processors were studied for 36 fourth grade private school students. The methods were brainstorming; outlining; and cognitive mapping. Stories by the mapping group were rated more highly for organization than were those from the other groups. (SLD)
