In Interactive or Shared Writing, the class works together to create a piece of writing. Sometimes students come up and help write and sometimes I do the writing. Through this, students learn to form paragraphs and learn the mechanics of writing. They also learn about the craft of writing and how to put their ideas on paper. Students brainstorm everything that is written and work as a class to decide what they want to say and how they want to display the writing. Through the year, we will make books, posters, letters, charts, graphs, and many others forms of writing interactively as a class.
