I went on an unplanned online journey yesterday and ended up at Lisa-Jo Baker's
site, where I learned about Five Minute Friday. Each Friday, Lisa-Jo
posts a word, her readers sit and write for five minutes about that word
without editing or self-critiquing (at least that's the idea), they
link their results, and they encourage the person who linked before
them. One of Lisa-Jo's readers, a mom at Desperate Homeschoolers,
has regularly participated in Five Minute Friday, inviting her eight-,
six-, and two-year-old daughters to join her, writing or drawing as
they are able. Until recently, she has linked their work with hers. Now
it has a special spot, and your children's writing can be there, too,
on the Five Minute Friday: Kids' Edition!
What a perfect way for moms and their children to write together with an achievable weekly goal and an audience.
Friday is coming! Cast the vision. Find some loose paper or start a writer's notebook. Sharpen the pencils. Ready...Set...Write!
