The teacher models topics selection, gathering and organizing information, clarifying meaning, and revising writing. An effective modeled writing session has the teacher thinking aloud and writing slowly so students can see the writing process. The teacher should model various elements of writing like selecting topics, organizing research, and writing in different genres to provide examples for students.

This document provides guidelines for early writing instruction. It emphasizes using meaningful contexts to teach writing mechanics like handwriting and spelling. It recommends using students' oral compositions to give insights into writing and keeping the benefits of writing clearly in mind. Teachers should read to students and discuss genres to serve as models. Developing natural curiosity and thinking skills is also important. The document outlines proper handwriting formation, slant, size, alignment and spacing. It suggests using worksheets and fun, non-mechanical copying activities to practice handwriting.
Controlled writing involves supplying students with some or all of the content and form of their writing to focus on specific writing elements. It is useful at all levels as it allows students to practice getting words on paper and concentrating on one or two writing problems at a time. Common controlled writing tasks include completing an outline, manipulating a paragraph, following a model, or continuing a passage. Controlled writing provides ample practice with correct grammar forms compared to free writing and allows students to monitor their own progress within the given parameters.
Freewriting is a technique where writers continuously write for a set period of time without editing, allowing thoughts to flow freely on any topic that comes to mind. Focused freewriting similarly lets thoughts wander but is structured around exploring a single chosen topic and making connections to develop abstract ideas before formal writing. Both help generate new ideas and perspectives to inform further drafting.
The document discusses teaching writing to students. It outlines the stages of the writing process as prewriting, drafting, revising, proofreading, and publishing. For each stage, it describes the teacher's role in supporting students and scaffolding strategies. The document also discusses types of writing activities like controlled, guided, and free writing and provides examples for implementing each in the classroom.
Shared writing is an instructional approach where the teacher writes with students to demonstrate the writing process. The teacher acts as scribe while students contribute ideas. It involves establishing a purpose, brainstorming ideas, choosing a topic, elaborating on it, modeling writing, revising together, and celebrating the final piece. Shared writing is important because it reinforces reading and writing skills, encourages examination of texts, and builds student confidence and motivation. An example is provided of a teacher working one-on-one with a student to write a poem about being a tree. Shared writing can be used with individuals, groups, or a whole class and at school or home. The ultimate goal is independent writing.
