I remember tons of kids writing the same word for 2 minutes just to antagonize our Language Arts teacher.<br /><br />But for intermediate grades, I think this is great! I always loved doing it.<br /><br /><b><a href="http://msdraffkorn.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Magnificent Multiagers!</a></b>Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03814613933358631096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6034201860866404746.post-15620974064512910182011-06-21T17:38:13.190-04:002011-06-21T17:38:13.190-04:00I have done this for years!

The kids love it; they love the freedom to write without worrying about grades, conventions, etc. I call it 5-minute writing, but like you said, I work up to five minutes (or more). I ALWAYS write on the same topic for the same amount of time, and the kids know not to ask me questions or for suggestions. Love it!Inside this Bookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12251969585951703073noreply@blogger.com
