Students continued to have in-class tutorials with the teacher.

Following this, TP3 carried out the first half of the Writing Workshop.  

Exercise 1 of the Writing Workshop: Free Writing 

  • For the next five minutes, you will have to write non-stop
  • You must not take your pen off the paper and you must not stop writing until the bell goes off. 
  • When you don’t know what to write, just keep writing the last word you wrote over and over again until new words or sentences come to mind. 
    • It doesn’t matter how often you write the word over and over again. 
  • If you make a mistake, don’t scratch it out – keep writing. 
  • You can write about anything. 
  • What you write about doesn’t have to make sense – it can be abstract. 
  • No one will see this writing – it is just for you. 
  • There is no right or wrong in this exercise – it is just for you. 
Exercise 2 of the Writing Workshop: Free Writing with Focus
  • For the next seven minutes, you will have to write non-stop
  • You must not take your pen off the paper and you must not stop writing until the bell goes off. 
  • When you don’t know what to write, just keep writing the last word you wrote over and over again until new words or sentences come to mind. 
    • It doesn’t matter how often you write the word over and over again. 
  • If you make a mistake, don’t scratch it out – keep writing. 
  • You will take a sentence or section of the previous text and write another text inspired by that extract. You can write about anything. 
  • What you write about doesn’t have to make sense – it can be abstract. 
  • No one will see this writing – it is just for you. 
  • There is no right or wrong in this exercise – it is just for you.
