INDEPENDENT+AND+MODELLED+WRITING

INDEPENDENT WRITING - “Independent writing is where children write on topics of their choice, perhaps in journals as responses to texts or experiences. Independent writing is where a child writes with little support from the teacher. (Hill, S 2006 p. 301)  MODELLED WRITING – “In this stage the teacher selects teaching points relevant to the learning needs of the children. The teacher shows how to hold the pen correctly and demonstrates the writing process as students look observe. The teacher also explains the thinking process involved when first beginning to write a text.” (Hill, S 2006 p 299)
