Friday Freewrite: Your Shadow
Freewriting is that wonderful key that unlocks the writer within.
Today’s writing prompt:
Imagine your shadow has a personality that is the complete opposite of yours. What does your shadow think about being attached to you all of the time?
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!
