Freewriting transcript

Image one

Text: The student starts by writing their topic on the page.

[In the accompanying image, a white page has the topic ‘Essay topic: what motivates employees?’ written at the top-centre of the page].

Image two

Text: Then they begin five minutes of freewriting. At the end of this period. They have made some spelling and grammatical errors, but this is not important.

[The accompanying image shows the page now filled up with the students ideas. The ideas are in points, rather than full sentences].

Image three

Text: Next, they spend some time going through what they wrote. They circle the ideas they like and cross out the ideas they don’t think are very useful.

[The accompanying image shows some ideas underlined in green and others crossed out in red].

Image four

Text: Then, they choose one of the ideas they liked from their first freewriting session as the topic of their next freewriting session and repeat the process to develop more ideas.

[The accompanying image shows a new white page with only the heading ‘workplace autonomy + employee motivation’ written at the top-centre of the page].
