Friday Freewrite: Bookmark
Freewriting is that wonderful key that unlocks the writer within.
Today’s writing prompt:
Pick a novel you’ve enjoyed. Now tell the story from a confused bookmark’s perspective (remember, the bookmark only would have read the pages where it marked the place, so it will be missing lots of parts!).
Share your child’s freewrite in the comments if you’d like! (Or feel free to share your freewrite too!)
New to freewriting?
Freewriting is the vehicle by which we trick our inner selves into expressing the words and ideas that we want to share but are afraid won’t come out right on paper if we do. So, read the freewriting prompt, set the timer for 5-10 minutes then have your child write whatever comes to mind. We invite you to freewrite too, at the same time as your kids. Just keep the pencil moving until “ding”—when the timer rings!
