Four common specific types of writing that teachers can do in the classrooms:
Modelled Writing
Shared Writing
Guided Writing
Independent Writing
MODELLED WRITING

SHARED WRITING
SHARED WRITING
Teacher and student composing
the text together teacher acts as the scribe, writing the text as it is being composed. A method for direct teaching of key skills and concepts needed in the writing process.
The purpose: to model the thought process involved in writing and allow pupils to engage in and focus on the process. When the teacher is writing, it frees pupils from that aspect of the writing process so that they can focus exclusively on the thinking involved in writing.
Reggie Routman (1994) lists several benefits of shared writing: Reinforces and supports reading as well as writing. Makes it possible for all students to participate. Encourages close examination of texts, words, and options of authors. Demonstrates the conventions of writing-spelling, punctuation, and grammar. Focuses on composing and leaves transcribing to the teacher.
GUIDED WRITING
GUIDED WRITING
The teacher works with either
individual pupils or pupils in small groups. The teacher guides by discussing with the group, helping them to form word maps, prompting and guiding them to write.
Task
In small groups, demonstrate either modelled/shared/guided writing based on the writing learning standards found in the Standard Document.
