Abstract: Interactive writing is a shared pen technique that has largely disappeared from primary grade classrooms. In this article, we describe the interactive writing process. We then recount the way one first-grade teacher, Tessa, implemented the strategy with her students by walking the reader through one lesson. We present how, during this lesson, Tessa organically addressed several Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills standards by collaboratively writing continuous text. Finally, we share how this process has impacted the children's writing habits in Tessa's classroom.
