USING SHARED WRITING IN THE CLASSROOM WHAT ARE THE KEY FEATURES OF SHARED WRITING?

Shared Writing During shared writing it is important to: agree how the audience and the purpose of the writing task determine the structure, grammatical features and content; use specific objectives which are limited; rehearse sentences orally before writing them down, thus giving children insights into how to compose in sentences;

Shared Writing In Class encourage the automatic habit of incorporating basic elements, e.g. capital letters and full stops; constantly and cumulatively re-read to gain a flow from one sentence into another; explain why decisions have been made – why one choice is preferable to another;

The Session keep the session well paced and focused by using questions to seek information and to consolidate and verify children’s understanding; check for misconceptions and deal with them by directing discussion to promote action and enquiry;

Remember occasionally make deliberate errors so as to allow a focus on tackling common errors or on errors related to a specific teaching objectives; model meta-language (i.e. language used to talk and think about language).

Pupil Responses Provide opportunities for children to respond by: offering waiting time for individual thinking; building in brief paired discussion; encouraging non-verbal responses (e.g. ‘show-me’ activities).

PRINCIPLES OF SHARED WRITING IN KS1 General: work with the whole class to demonstrate, explore and discuss the choices writers make; make the links between reading and writing explicit – written texts as models for writing; scaffold aspects of writing – helping children understand and apply specific skills and strategies;

PRINCIPLES OF SHARED WRITING IN KS1 Focus on particular aspects of the writing process: planning; composing; revising, editing, redrafting.

PRINCIPLES OF SHARED WRITING IN KS1 Kind of text: normally linked to Shared Reading; allows teachers and children to use ideas, words, spelling patterns, themes and structures from the shared text as a basis for writing; based on the range of fiction, poetry and non-fiction texts.

PRINCIPLES OF SHARED WRITING IN KS1 Teacher’s role: to demonstrate the way that writers work; frequently to act as a scribe, recording on a flip chart; to develop and refine ideas; to work at a level beyond children’s independent writing; to free the children to concentrate on composition.

PRINCIPLES OF SHARED WRITING IN KS1 Child’s role: to contribute his/her own ideas; to identify features in the shared text to use in writing; to begin to incorporate the techniques modelled by the teacher into his/her own writing in guided/independent work. Timing: during the whole-class teaching segment of the Literacy Hour.

PRINCIPLES OF SHARED WRITING – BY THE END OF KS2 use the first 30 minutes of the Literacy Hour as a continuous teaching sequence to focus attention on particular grammatical features related to objectives.

PRINCIPLES OF SHARED WRITING – BY THE END OF KS2 Extend planning over a period of time in order to promote: a strengthened understanding of the link between reading and writing; the development of shared writing into sustained, independent writing.

PRINCIPLES OF SHARED WRITING – BY THE END OF KS2 Focus on: working from examples of written text to explore how grammatical features are used to create particular effects; investigating these features through activities such as transforming sentences, cloze activities, collecting and classifying words and phrases to help children understand principles and conventions; applying this knowledge in composing real texts through shared writing.

PRINCIPLES OF SHARED WRITING – BY THE END OF KS2 Ensure that children: learn to make appropriate choices as they write; see grammatical features as options to create impact on their readers rather than as rules to create complicated sentences.

PRINCIPLES OF SHARED WRITING – BY THE END OF KS2 Kind of Text: draws on a range of fiction, poetry and non-fiction texts experienced in Shared Reading; uses the themes and structures of shared text as a basis for writing, e.g. recounts, instructions, reports, explanations, persuasive texts, and discursive writing.

PRINCIPLES OF SHARED WRITING – BY THE END OF KS2 Teacher’s role: demonstrating composition – composing aloud, i.e. rehearsing the sentence before writing it, weighing up alternatives and explaining decisions; scribing – discussion about alternatives, followed by teacher taking suggestions on what to write and taking the opportunity to focus on objectives; supported composition – children write (often in pairs) and discuss with each other how they will create what they want the reader to hear, this allows the teacher to take immediate feedback.

PRINCIPLES OF SHARED WRITING – BY THE END OF KS2 Child’s role: use knowledge gained in other lessons to read critically and note the effect of the features used by the writer; investigating and discussing the effect of using these grammatical features in her/his own writing.

PRINCIPLES OF SHARED WRITING – BY THE END OF KS2 Timing: during the whole-class teaching segment of the Literacy Hour; Shared Reading and Writing sessions should be carefully positioned over a period of time so as to maximise the links between reading a writing.
