Hey educators, looking for new ways to ensure your assignments are relevant for your students and allow them opportunity to make choices in their work? edtru.st/EquityInMotion… #EquityInMotion

I'm also, co-author of forthcoming Stenhouse Publishers @ILA book on interactive writing ow.ly/X4oIp #ILAchat

A1: For older students, “Share the Pen” can become “Share the Keyboard” Take a look: ow.ly/WVukx #ILAchat

A41: In every IW lesson, Ts support Ss to work on BOTH the craft and conventions of writing in “real time.” #ILAChat

Interactive writing works well with older and more fluent writers. #ILAchat x.com/joandabrowski/…

A2:IW steps: Experience, Prewrite, Compose, Share the Pen/Keybrd, Review, Extend. Here’s a handy one-pager ow.ly/WVvgp #ILAChat

Great idea to use Google docs for IW in upper elem grades! #ILAChat x.com/YCSTeach/statu…

A3: Ts can use IW to support Ss to write like a scientist, historian or mathematician.

A4: In every IW lesson, Ts support Ss to work on BOTH the craft and conventions of writing in “real time.” #ILAChat

A4: IW centers on a meaningful topic that Ss know well; it holds real-world purpose #ILAChat

A5: As you READ and STUDY a particular genre, guide Ss to WRITE in that genre using IW (e.g., memoirs, research, poetry) #ILAChat

A5: Completed IW pieces can become “genre exemplars” --Ss refer back to the IW piece as they write independently #ILAChat

A5: A book read & discussed aloud is a natural & powerful shared experience that can fuel an IW piece #ILAChat

Yes! IW is aligned with responsive teaching. Knowing what your student writers need -- and supporting them. #ILAChat x.com/MentorTextCent…

A7: The writing process & IW go hand in hand. PLAN = Prewrite DRAFT/REVISE/EDIT = Compose & Share the Pen; PUBLISH = Extend #ILAChat

IW strengthens & advances students’ independent writing, which is the ultimate goal! #ILAChat

Thanks #ILAchat! Great to talk with so many thoughtful educators!
