Timed Writing

In high school we only had timed writings really only during standardized testing. Timed writing is an effective to help young students grow as writers. Timed writing helps you to think on your feet about the topic, and knowing you have a limited time you try to write the best paper possible. Not seeing this type of writing often, i think was a disadvantage in standardized testing because i was never really taught how to write this way effectively. Had i been taught how to write on my feet effectively i could have done better on those tests. I think that all indiana schools should teach and have timed writings throughout the semester to help prepare for tests like the SAT so that students can write to the best of their ability.
