1. Have your format open. Remeber it is written by hand. It can be using your tablet, but it must be by hand.
2. Pick an option.
3. There are only 10 min for you to write. Don't think too much just write. If you don't know a word, skip it or write it in your language. It's ok to make MANY mistakes.
4. When you are at home, set a 15-min timer and edit your work. Find the words you didn't know, fix the mistakes you made.
