Abstract
Over approximately three weeks, a class of sophomore English Language Arts students engaged in a daily freewriting practice. They began and concluded the three weeks of freewriting with a semantic pulse survey that measured the attitudes of the students toward their writing. Three themes emerged from the project: a consistent choice of words about writing, a consistent quality and quantity of writing that was produced during the freewriting, and some untapped potential between the freewriting and the students' final more formal written work.
