Correct Response: C. Partnering the students who have beginning writing skills with more advanced peers who can write the sentences that they dictate helps scaffold the students' writing development by taking advantage of their stronger oral language skills. The more advanced students can also provide them with models of good writing. A and B are incorrect because they require the use of reading skills that would be beyond the level of the students in the scenario. D is incorrect because the lesson's objective is for students to produce their own written and oral descriptive sentences. The task described in D is simply copying descriptive sentences, not producing original sentences.
