Why d
W r i t in g ?
Shared writing is an opportunity to scaffold learning to help build strong and
confident writers.
Shared writing makes it possible for all students to participate in writing
and can be differentiated among all grade levels/reading levels.
•It also Allows our English Language Learners to practice oral skills such as
storytelling.
• Students get to take what was modeled during shared writing and practice
it during independent practice during differentiated workstations. .

What i
Writing?
Shared writing is when the students collaborate and work together on
ideas for a shared piece of writing usually done during whole group.
The teacher's job is to scribe the writing using correct spelling, grammar
and punctuation for the students.
The writing is displayed in the classroom as a good model/reference for
students to utilize during independent time.
This block of time is usually 10-15 minutes.

1. Let Student's brainstorm ideas for a new idea of classroom writing.
It should include a shared experience such as something funny that
I m p l e m e n t happened in class, a science experiment, a math lesson, morning
Ho w t o meeting, or a letter to a staff member are some good ideas to include.
W r i t i n g 2. Have student's turn and talk to a partner to share their ideas with
Shared
others and help them engage with each other. As students are
discussing, try to listen to students to get an idea of what their
conversations are sounding like.
3. Pick a topic to write based on something you heard while you were
walking around listening to the conversations that they were
discussing with their partner. For example, you could say, “I heard
Johnny and Susie talking about the science experiment we did last
week, That sounds like something fun we could write about today.
4. Model explicitly throughout the writing process and share your
thinking. This is the most important KEY to shared Writing! Make sure
that you rereading before writing, think aloud when writing the
sentences, ask yourself if one sentence would sound better
somewhere else, make mistakes and fix them etc. This will help
students learn the writing process and get their brains thinking and
keeps them involved in the writing process as you are asking the
questions out loud.
6. Last step is to reread the writing out loud to the students once
finished and have students turn and talk about the writing and if any
other details need to be added for when they include it in their
independent writing.
