Collaborative prewriting
Different prewriting strategies can be categorized into individual process and collaborative process. For example, planning is an individual process, and group brainstorming and reading contents are collaborative process. Different types of prewriting can impact the performance of writing in different ways. Individual prewriting can improve analytic ratings. While collaborative prewriting is more complicated.

In general, collaborative prewriting can improve the accuracy of language especially with instruction from teachers. Looking more carefully into collaborative prewriting, there are 3 important process: reading comprehension, collaborative fill-in-the-blanks concept maps(CFCM), and collaborative construct concept maps (CCCM)

Reading comprehension could be a predictor of the performance of writing. Reading, reflecting, and connecting the articles can make students understand content with more inspiration. The two mapping strategies can also be strategies of improving reading comprehension ability and lead to better writing. Both mapping strategies can help students to organize and sort key information. CCCM is more focused on comprehension, application, and analysis ability, while CFCM is more about understanding the content and align their writing with the original article.

In order to understand and evaluate the effect of prewriting, further research on writing format, time factor, student's attitude towards different prewriting strategies should be done in the future.

Impact of prewriting
Despite the impact of prewriting, students still underrated the importance of prewriting. Research shows that student seldom asks help in the prewriting process, but rather to asks for help in reviewing process.

Overall, prewriting has positive impact on writing performance, and a well functioned prewriting task gives the opportunity for students to reflect ideas and gain ideas from others, resulting in more significant outcomes.
