Even as I still ask students to free write which means tapping into the subconscious flow of words in writing out what comes, I sometimes wonder if there are those who don't hear me or just can't do it because we've been taught to think before writing. Thinking before writing doesn't help us get to our deeper selves as well as just letting the writing happen.
I'm going to start doing these writings on the board to show students what I mean.
A student's idea of free writing:
I can't wait for the weekend. I'm looking forward to some free time. I'm too stressed out.
My idea:
For the common flight of witness my albatross has wings again
