at Florida State University

The Inkwell is a resource for First Year Composition at Florida State University. All the exercises and assignments have been submitted by FYW TAs and Instructors who have used them in their classrooms--from ENC 1905 to 1101/1102 and 1142/1145. Some TAs frequently surf the Inkwell for daily writing exercises and activities. Other TAs use the Inkwell to brainstorm their own writing exercises and activities.

We've grouped the exercises under the links below - feel free to surf and borrow at your leisure. This version of the Inkwell is an updated and expanded version of the original--created by John Grosskopf. "Paper Topics" and "Fiction Exercises" are new to the Inkwell - so there's not much here, yet. We're very interested in expanding these two new sections, in addition to the others. If you've got an exercise that you feel would make a good addition to the Inkwell--under any of the links--please submit it via e-mail to Dustin Anderson at dra02@fsu.edu.
