During the prepare phase, items are given time to prepare for example, by generating a sound in the case of a synth item, or by creating an "offline canvas" in the case of a sketchpad.
As an aside, the results do not show any evidence that display mode has an impact on performance (preparing a large canvas obviously takes more time, but this cost is hidden in the prepare phase, as is discussed in the Timing: The prepare run strategy section).
The searching and preparing phases of the self-study process were considered as statistically important factors strongly influencing the breadth and depth of discussion during the reporting phase.
The K1 prepare phase rephrases the text to focus on the comparative prepositional phrase like distant thunder.
Similarly, it was understood that the depth of discussion during the reporting phase was affected by the searching and preparing phases of self-study process.
The questionnaire applied to the students consisted of; questions about students' perceptions on searching and preparing phases of the self-study process, the breadth and depth of discussion during reporting phase and the usage of learning resources.

Here the Prepare phase first orients students to the procedure they will follow for writing, then the starting point for writing.
Each functions as part of the Prepare phase: the first gives general information 'follow the same pattern'; the second specifies the steps they will follow; the third specifies the first item in the sentence.
