IWW Practice-W Exercise Archives
Exercise:
Not so Free-for-All

These exercises were written by IWW members and administrators to provide structured practice opportunities for its members. You are welcome to use them for practice as well. Please mention that you found them at the Internet Writers Workshop (http://www.internetwritingwor kshop.org/).

----------------

Exercise: Choose one of the nearly two hundred past workshop exercises. Follow the
instructions precisely, including word count. Give your  readers a brief  description of the
exercise you're working on,
and copy and paste the Web address of that exercise
into your submission.

----------------

Many of the past free-for-all exercises have allowed members to alter the
requirements of the exercise they choose, or to make up an exercise for themselves.
The rule this time is more strict--pick an exercise that's been posted and do it as if it
were this week's exercise for the whole group. In other words, meet the
requirements for the exercise you choose, whatever they may be.

A list of exercises by topic is available on the IWW website:

http://www.internetwritingworkshop.org/pwarchive/topics.shtml

You can give your readers the location of the exercise you do by copying the address
from the browser bar at the top of the exercise page.

Critiquing suggestions:

Has  the writer met the requirements of the chosen exercise?  If so,  point out areas
that support this.  If not, why not?  Offer  suggestions as to how  the exercise
requirements could be met,  perhaps a bit of tweaking here, a bit of additional
material there.
