Recently, a grade 7 teacher I know shared a phrase she uses when her students freewrite. She calls it filter-free writing!
Students with devices certainly know filters. When sharing photos or videos, they use everything from colour filters to beauty filters to augmented reality. Describing their freewriting as filter-free is a brilliant way to describe what we are asking them to do: raw, uncensored, filter-free writing.
Going forward I will certainly be using this phrase!
