Introducing the Strategy: Free Writing
The free writing strategy allows writers to write freely without pressure to
be correct or complete. A free write gives a writer the freedom to write in an informal style and get ideas on paper in preparation for a more complete
and formal writing assignment. This strategy helps writers refine and clarify thoughts, spark new ideas, and/or generate content during drafting or revision.
my Notes

Free write about the topic of physical and mental challenges and their connection to heroism. Be sure to:
• Capture as many ideas as you can.
• Explore your ideas about the ways people react to challenges, not only physically or mentally but also changes in what they do with their lives.
