Ever heard of creative writing jogging? What? Never? I agree, it is a relatively unknown sport but essential for your creativity! And creativity is a muscle that needs to be trained on a daily basis. The principle of creative writing jogging is simple: a short, repeated workout. The students write for a maximum of [seven] minutes and a few volunteers present their texts to the class. The aim is not to write stories, but short texts that meet a specific set of instructions. 2, record 1, English, - writing%20jogging
