Collaborative Writing

This activity supports all learners, including ELLs because it

allows for students to contribute when they are ready. If
done orally (which it should be at first) the teacher can
model thinking and help to solicit ideas from the group.
Depending on the experience that the class has with group
work, it may be a good idea to clearly define group roles and
to put in place structured guidelines to ensure that all group
members have the opportunity to speak. Online
collaboration can be very beneficial for ELLs because it
allows them to communicate at their own pace, which can
sometimes be slower than group conversation allows for.
