Unreferenced date June 2011 Interactive writing has been described by Swartz 2001 as a teaching method in which children and teacher negotiate what they are going to write and then share the pen to construct the message. 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. Others have described interactive writing differently as a method used in literacy teaching , especially for young children, whereby the students have the opportunity to practice their reading, studying and writing skills in a safe and creative environment.

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 ... were characterized by a breathtaking implausibility, being based on an eccentric reading of the history ...

Some asemic writing includes pictograms or ideograms , the meanings of which are sometimes, but not always, suggested by their shapes. Asemic writing, at times, exists as a conception or shadow of conventional writing practices. Reflecting writing, but not completely existing as a traditional writing system, asemic writing seeks to make the reader hover in a state between reading and looking. Asemic writing has no verbal sense, though it may have clear textual sense. Through its formatting and structure, asemic writing may suggest a type of document and, thereby, suggest a meaning. The form of art is still writing, often calligraphic in form, and either depends on a reader s sense and knowledge of writing systems for it to make sense, or can be understood through aesthetic intuition. Asemic writing can also be seen as a relative perception, whereby unknown languages and forgotten scripts provide templates and platforms for new modes of expression. It has been suggested that asemic writing exists in two ways true asemic writing and relative asemic writing. ref http www.fullofcrow.com prate 2009 08 michael jacobson ref True asemic writing occurs when the creator of the asemic piece cannot read their own asemic writing.
