Collaborative Writing
Speaking Briefly: An Overview of the Literacy Strategy
Collaborative Writing provides striving writers with targeted instruction based on assessment data. In today's classroom, there are many students disengaged during the writing process despite their teacher's best efforts to model and demonstrate strategic writing (Glasswell, Parr, & McNaughton, 2003). This instructional strategy jump-starts the process through dialogue and “in-the-moment” scaffolding (Gibson, 2008).
Collaborative Writing is designed for small writing groups or individual instruction. Even though it was designed for striving writers, it may be adapted as an enrichment activity for students who are ready for more complex work.
