My students really enjoyed this! It gave them the opportunity to be creative and explore different ideas. It was great to see how excited they got about increasing their word count over the course of several months.

I really liked breaking up my students' free-write into 1/3/10 minutes, and I received a lot of positive feedback from them. Thanks for sharing these forms!

What a great way to track student progress! They particularly liked how the timer built to get them into writing for longer amounts of time.

Love using these in my Spanish classes! I only use them a couple times each year but students are always pleasantly surprised by how much they can write!

This is a great resource for free writes! With other resources, kids often say they don't know what to write and just stare at the page but by chunking it like this I found it really lowers the affective filters and got much better writing results.
