  Great technique. I like that it demonstrates the struggle writers -- even teachers -- often face when confronting a blank page.  I think many students believe that there's some secret, magical power possessed by writers, and that they probably don't have it themselves. Watching (and hearing) an expert slug through a writing assignment explodes that myth, and probably unloads some of that mental burden for students.
