So even though I did not attend class I also forgot to post my response. Here it is.

In this reading assignment, Neman writes about the “art” of free writing. I feel that in my total overall writing experience, free writing is something that is not used as much as should be. Most of my writing has been: here are the guidelines for what you need to write, now write it. While I have been studying at Bowling Green I have had more opportunities to free write and I have loved every bit of it. So my question is why is free writing seen as a frightening thing to in primary/secondary grades? Would it not be a good idea to implement this into our students lives at a younger age to promote more of a relationship with writing?
