Interactove writing is a cooperative event where text is jointed composed and written. The teacher used the interactive writing session to model reading and writing strategies as he or she engages children in creating text. Interactive writing was also included by Fountas & Pinnell as part of their balanced literacy framework. Similar to shared writing, interactive writing allows a teacher and students to literally share the pen to create a joint sentence or message. Typically used in the primary grades, interactive writing is a powerful instructional medium for teaching phonics, spelling principles, rimes, writing conventions, and other key early writing skills. This form of interactive writing is thoroughly explained and detailed in the book Interactive Writing How Language & Literacy Come Together, K 2 by Andrea McCarrier, Gay Su Pinnell, and Irene Fountas.

Refimprove date December 2009 Orphan date December 2009 Archi writing is a term used by French philosopher Jacques Derrida in his attempt to re orient the relationship between speech and writing. Derrida argued that as far back as Plato , speech had been always given priority over writing. In the West, phonetic writing was considered as a secondary imitation of speech, a poor copy of the immediate living act of speech. Derrida argued that in later centuries philosopher Jean Jacques Rousseau and linguist Ferdinand de Saussure both gave writing a secondary or parasitic role. In Derrida s essay Plato s Pharmacy , he sought to question this prioritising by firstly complicating the two terms speech and writing. According to Derrida, this complication is visible in the Greek word pharmakon , which meant both cure and poison. Derrida noted that Plato argued that writing was poisonous to memory, since writing is a mere repetition, as compared to the living memory required for speech. Derrida points out however, that since both speech and writing rely upon repetition they cannot be completely distinguished. In the neologism archi writing , archi meaning origin, principle or telos , attempts to go beyond the simple division of writing speech. Archi writing refers to a kind of writing that precedes both speech and writing. Derrida argued that Archi writing is, in a sense, language, in that it is already there before we use it, it already has a pregiven, yet malleable, structure genesis, which is a semi fixed set up of different words and syntax. This fixedness is the writing to which Derrida refers, just such a writing can even be seen in cultures that do not employ writing , it could be seen in notches on a rope or barrel, fixed customs, or placements around the living areas.

Packet writing technology achieves this by writing data in incremental blocks rather than in a single block. The most common file system for packet writing systems is the Universal Disk Format UDF format. Deleting files and directories of a CD R using packet writing technology does not recover the space occupied by these objects but are simply marked as being deleted. Similarly, changes to files cause new instances to be created instead of replacing the original files. Because of this, the available space on a medium using packet writing technology will slowly diminish every time its content is modified. For rewritable discs, however, this doesn t necessarily occur there exists technology that allows them to be used as truly removable storage media, fully and freely writable see Universal Disk Format UDF . Due to the characteristics of optical rewritable media such as CD RW s and DVD RW s, the ability of data sectors to hold their contents wear out by changing them frequently since re crystallized alloy de crystallizes .

It is often loosely semi autobiographical, free flowing in an ersatz Stream of consciousness writing stream of consciousness mode, and heavily informed by left wing critical theory , but arises ultimately from linguistics linguistic ideas around performative utterances . It often weaves together a bricolage of other writing styles since performative writing sees the form as being as important as the content .
