Which activity is described as being one-on-one with writing?

• A. Sustained Writing
• B. Interactive writing
• C. Write aloud
• D. Journals

Answer: (C)

Write aloud is when the teacher models the writing process by thinking aloud while actually writing with a student. This setup lets the learner hear how to choose topics, stretch sounds to spell words, structure sentences, and revise ideas, all in real time. Because the teacher guides and explains step by step in a one-on-one context, the instruction is highly individualized and immediate. This differs from sustained writing, where students write for longer periods mostly on their own; interactive writing, which involves the teacher and several students drafting together on a shared text; and journals, which are personal, often independent entries.
