Teaching+writing

 There are different strategies when it comes to teaching writing. Modeled writing is when the teacher selects teaching points relevant to the learning needs of the children. The different strategies are modeled writing, shared writing, guided writing, independent writing and language experience. The most important thing for teachers to make sure their students understand is that there should always be a purpose for writing. Through those teaching strategies the teacher is helping scaffold their writing development. They need to be taught the different genres and text types so that they can understand when different types of writing are used to gain the audiences attention. Certain genres have a predictable out come most of the time. These kind of predictable outcomes can be used to help them understand the basic structure they can follow to create a similar text within that genre. home
