Friday Freewrite: The Great Sock Debate
Freewriting is that wonderful key that unlocks the writer within.
Today’s writing prompt:
Write the dialogue between two super serious debaters (they can be real or fictional people) who argue the extremely important question: “Must socks match?”
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!

I feel like my girls are too young to be able to write this- do you think a verbal debate would have value in supporting their writing in this category ?
I wondered if this might be related to the Great Sock Debate in our home which is around wearing socks to bed! 😂 there are very strong opinions about that here! I did recently read in The Times that wearing socks to sleep helps people fall asleep!
