Interactive writing definition

Interactive writing. This method is very similar to shared writing (in which the students and teacher compose the text together but the teacher alone writes down the composition), with the addition of asking students to write some portion of the text. This technique is used with beginning writers only and focuses on the features of letters and words. • Writing mini-lessons: Mini-lessons might address issues of grammar, sentence structure, or spelling, as needed for the level or genre of writing being studied. • Writing conference: Teachers converse with students individually about their writing to provide brief targeted coaching, usually focused on one concept or skill.
