Teaching+Writing

=Teaching Writing.. .=

We write for ourselves and others, and for many different purposes. To:
 * communicate ideas
 * create stories
 * organise information
 * make list and notes

There are a variety of teaching approaches to writing:
 * **Modelled Writing **
 * **Shared Writing**
 * **Guided Writing**
 * **Independent Writing**

Writing Conference is a useful way for the teacher to help a child improve their writing during guided and independent writing. Helping children read and critique their own and each others writing can help children understand that writing may sometimes be for themselves but most of the time it is for an audience or peers.
