Tips for Rapid Writing

• Write as fast as you can.

• No corrections or erasing allowed.

• Write until your teacher says “STOP” – do not stop before!

• Don’t lift your pen/pencil from the paper or remove your hands from
the computer.

• If you get stuck, jumpstart your brain by writing the topic title and
extending it to a sentence.

• When your teacher says “STOP,” count and record the number of
words you have written.

• Be prepared to discuss your topic: use the writing you have done to
start you off.
