No sentence-level conversations. Start one.

Finding a topic or beginning a piece of writing can be a difficult task. When students face a blank piece of paper and freeze, it may be for a variety of reasons. They may believe that they should know everything they want to say before beginning to write. Or, they may think they have nothing to say. Others may lack confidence in their own language, editing even before words form on their papers. Many teachers have found the pre-writing activities help students overcome the difficulties they encounter when they begin to write. Three valuable pre-writing activities are free writing, the bubble outline, and word game.

Participants should write whatever comes into their minds without worrying about grammar or spelling, without stopping to think or reread.

Participants should be told that their freewriting will be private unless they volunteer to share it.
