Define Freewriting

Rules of Freewriting

• You are not allowed to stop• You are not allowed to edit or cross out

anything• You are not allowed to think • This means, you are not allowed to think of

grammar, or if what you are saying is interesting or not, if your thoughts are organized or not, or to make any judgments about your writing

Other Applications of Freewriting

• Do it before you write anything• Before you run you warm up• So before you write, you should freewrite

Process experience

Reminder

• Read what you wrote• Underline any interesting things• Some of them might be possible research

topics

Organizing and Examining Ideas

• Let’s play a guessing game• I have several objects that you need to

organize• What do you need to know in order to

complete the task?

Freewriting

• Helps you see your ideas• If they continue to be amorphous thoughts,

they’ll be harder to examine and organize
