When children are completing work on writing do they have free choice of topic or can it be more directed eg. text type or must write a fabulous opener etc?
Free choice in work on writing

It’s designed to be free choice, but if you’ve done a mini-lesson about a topic (like fabulous openers), you might suggest that they give it a try in their writing. If you have a separate writer’s workshop, this would be a great time to have a more directed focus.
