Dani Anguiano and Gina Spadorico 
Writing Tutors, CSU, Chico Student Learning Center 

Two CSU, Chico students share their strategies and tips to make the writing process easier, focusing on the first steps to writing a paper or essay. Their multi-point process includes free-writing, clustering, outlining, and mind-mapping. Along the way, the presenters give visual examples of each step. In addition, they describe the services available through the Writing Center, which is a program of the Student Learning Center. Help is available either in the office or online. Using PowerPoint slides, the presenters show exactly how students access these writing services through BlackBoard Learn in their portal accounts.
