We then carried out the first 3 exercises of the first part of their first Writing Workshop:
- Warm Up Exercise: Letter List
- The teacher will tell you a letter from the alphabet.
- For the next two minutes, you will have to write a list of words that begin with that letter.
- You cannot stop writing until the two minutes are up.
- Rest – count how many words you came up with.
- Repeat with another letter…and another if you’re up for it.
- Exercise 1: 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: 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.
