More Generative Writing Exercises
A while ago, I published a list of generative writing exercises. They seem to be quite popular and so I submit to you, even more generative writing exercises.
In particular, I am fond of the postcard exercise.
This set of activities was designed by the University of Massachusetts Amherst, to be used with lesson plans, but they’re all so simple and useful that I think anyone would be able to use them to…
work on generating material they might work with in the essay and/or producing many short pieces of writing that explore multiple topics to help them choose the eventual focus of their essay. We refer to this as generative writing to reflect the thought process involved: a time where the writer generates ideas, considers multiple options for topics, invents material that might be useful for the later essay, and rethinks positions and perspectives”” reinventing their own take on the issue.
