This is something that I created to use with my middle school students. It's very often a huge challenge to get kids to even start writing. I thought this humor would help some of them get the picture so to speak. = ) Feel free to use for yourself.
The
Vomit Draft is exactly what it sounds like: not pretty, edited, organized, or
well written. The point is to just
“vomit” out the words on paper and clean up later.
Here
are the steps to a Vomit Draft
1.JUST WRITE.
a.
Don’t
worry about spelling or anything else but getting your ideas out on paper about
the writing topic.
2.FOCUS ON THE TOPIC
a.
Write
only about the topic. What do you
know? What have you learned about it? Now write!
*Still stuck? Just
say aloud what you’re thinking and then write that down. It’s a secret little trick for you ;)
