The purpose of a Quick Write is to activate a discussion of a work of art quickly. When working with a difficult or controversial piece, Quick Writes help to verbalize what people may be afraid or self-conscious to voice. Quick writes can be done anonymously and allows people to feel free to discuss what they have written and heard from others read aloud.
