This module opens with a free-writing activity instead of our traditional reading quiz on the background information. You will only get one attempt at this quiz, which requires you to write for six minutes on an assigned topic. This quiz is timed.

Free writing requires you to write without stopping for a given period of time. Because of this, I'm not evaluating you on how well your sentences are constructed or on spelling, grammar, etc. Instead, I'm looking for a giant chunk of text on the assigned topic. Once you start typing, don't stop. If you get stuck, try typing the lyrics to your favorite song until you can get back on track. I'm definitely looking for quantity here.

Do not click "Take the Quiz" until you are actually ready to take the quiz.
