GCSE English Tuition Bolton: Writing Rubbish for Better Grades and Creativity-Two

Here’s a quick way to generate ideas for your essays and stories. All you need is paper, three pens or pencils and a bright highlighter pen.  And a timer of some sort- whether on your phone or a cute egg timer!If you have a specific task or prompt, that is fine. If not, this is a great way to give your creativity and mind a cleanse!

 

 So follow this process and smile at what happens:

 

Set your timer for one minute and write rubbish non- stop,  in any way you like. Sentences, Words. Pictures even. Bullet points. Keep going for a full minute then STOP. 

 

Now change pens. 

 

Set your timer for another full minute and off you go again.  Then STOP once again. 

 

Now change your pen once more. 

 

Set your timer for the final minute and off you go with your writing rubbish. Keep going until the timer tells you to stop! 

 

Now pick up your highlighter pen and underline or highlight THREE ideas or maybe even Four that you like. 

 

These ideas can form the basis of your writing piece. One idea per paragraph works well and the ideas you have selected will work in interesting ways with your thoughts. which are relaxed and flexible. The ideas are spontaneous and come from your creative mind. They will  work together in curious and innovative ways. 

 

How easy is that?
