Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Give students a narrowed topic or a list of topic for students to choose from. Make sure the purpose of the writing is clear, or what they will be assessed on, since that may help students figure out what to write about as well. Teach students to do things like concept maps or other strategies to plan and think through writing before they start. Give them a time limit to write anything that comes to mind and then analyze that after to see if they can find a topic. Encourage them to keep a notebook for creative writing ideas that they can write in anytime of the day and re-visit if they need a topic.
