I would look closely at my daily routines. Interactive writing is powerful in short spurts. I think kids tire of it when it goes on too long.
Some examples: Morning messageCaptions for artworkLabels on graphs/maps/tablesDirections for centersListsRecipes I also really liked to use interactive writing in small groups to model written retelling. The retelling can be cut into smaller chunks and group members can illustrate to create story maps. I think that this book is absolutely the best when it comes to interactive writing: http://www.amazon.com/Interactive-Writing-Language-Literacy-Together/dp/0325002096 Lori _______________________________________________ Mosaic mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe or modify your membership please go to http://literacyworkshop.org/mailman/options/mosaic_literacyworkshop.org.
