Quick Write

The purpose of a quick write is to simply get your thoughts and ideas onto a page. Punctuation, grammar, and ordinary writing conventions do not apply here. Just write to get your thoughts out!

Quick writes typically last 5 to 10 minutes, and are designed to help you start a formal writing assignment. That is, by writing to get your thoughts out, you can begin to formulate a plan for the upcoming project.

Remember, it is not imperative to stay on topic. Sometimes you might start discussing your trip to Florida and end up talking about a solar eclipse. Just keep writing!

Rules for a quick write:

  • Absolutely no talking!

Do not distract your fellow students. We need silence in order to focus on the task at hand.

  • Do not stop writing!

No matter what, just keep writing until the allotted time runs out.
