FREE WRITING

02/18/14 03:45 PM
FREE WRITING
Free writing is the act of writing
unstructured, stream-of-consciousness
thoughts without pausing or making
corrections..
It’s an excellent way to think of ideas,
explore
topics,
or
practice
writing more often.
02/18/14 03:45 PM
Free writing Example
so i  need  to  think  of  something  to  write 
but  I  cant  think  of  anything  really  so 
here  I  am  free  writing  for  a  couple 
minutes  while  watching  TV.  I  should 
probably  turn  it  off  since  it’s  so 
distracting except I can’t find the remote 
and  uh  I  should  probably  think  about 
what  i’m  gonna  write  instead  of  writing 
about nothing. hmmm maybe I’ll just like 
write about free writing.. 
02/18/14 03:45 PM
Variations of free writing
1. Grammar and punctuation
Some prefer to write in complete sentences,
while others prefer not to use any
punctuation at all.
2. Topic
You can either write about anything that comes
to mind or stick to a focused topic
3. Time limit
You can either time yourself (usually for a short
amount of time, like several minutes) or just
write until you feel you’re done. 
02/18/14 03:45 PM
While Free writing
Don’t stop writing!
Don’t read over your Free writing
until after you’re done.
Ignore any mistakes you make.
If you usually use the computer,
trying Free writing by hand to see if
it works better for you
02/18/14 03:45 PM
After Free writing
Once you’re done, read what you wrote. 
Take the main ideas from your Free writing 
and  organize  them  with  another 
prewriting technique,  like  mapping  or 
outlining 
Take a  word,  a  sentence,  or  the  main 
idea from your Free writing and use it as a 
prompt for another Free writing exercise. 
Save  it.  If  you’re  ever  in  need  of 
02/18/14 03:45 PM

Why Use a Mind-map?
It clearly defines the central idea, by
positioning it in the centre of the page.
It allows you to indicate clearly the relative
importance of each idea.
It allows you to add in new information
without messy scratching out or squeezing
in.
It allows you to figure out the links among
the key ideas more easily.

02/18/14 03:45 PM
How to do a Map
Use unlined paper
Use paper with no previous writing on it.
Connect all words or phrases or lists with
lines, to the centre or to other "branches."
Go quickly, without pausing
Write down everything you can think of
without judging or editing
You may want to use color-coding, to group
sections of the Map.
02/18/14 03:45 PM
Some Graphic Organizational
Patterns
Branches. An idea may branch many times to
include both closely and distantly related ideas.
Arrows. You may want to use arrows to join ideas
from different branches.
Groupings. If a number of branches contain
related ideas, you may want to draw a circle
around the whole area.
Lists.
Explanatory/Exploratory notes. You may want to
write a few sentences in the Map itself, to explain,
02/18/14 03:45 PM
question, or comment on some aspect of your Map

LET’S MAKE A
MIND MAP
02/18/14 03:45 PM
Stage 1: brainstorming = free
thinking —> producing ideas
Write your topic or area of study in the
centre of a blank page.
Use colours, pictures, words and symbols
to record any other ideas, topics, authors,
theories or anything else associated with
the topic. You can put these anywhere on
the page. At this point anything and
everything is OK.

02/18/14 03:45 PM
02/18/14 03:45 PM
Stage 2: mind mapping =
identifying relationships —>
organizing ideas
Circle the key points or ideas you have identified.
Identify gaps in your knowledge, and any
questions you have.
Look at each item and consider, "How does this
point relate to the others, and to the topic as a
whole?"
Map the relationships between the ideas or key
points using lines, arrows, colours and words to
link them.
Identify the type of relationship between points:
