What is the 'Freewriting exercise' popularised by Peter Elbow in 1973 also termed as?
Answer: B
Freewriting, which Peter Elbow popularised in his book "Writing Without Teachers" (1973), is also called automatic writing. The writer writes continuously for a set time without stopping to correct, edit or judge what is put down, so that ideas flow freely.
Essay writing is a finished form with a planned structure, which is the opposite of freewriting. Scribbling means careless marks and does not describe the method. Invented writing refers to the spelling that young children make up before they learn the standard form, so it belongs to early literacy and not to Elbow's exercise.
