I've done it many times in primary grades. On a large chart paper, the teacher and the students collectively compose ideas into sentences, then sound out words, talk about concepts of print, capitalization, letter formation, paragraphing, etc. Students come up as called upon to write words, letters, phrases as agreed upon. For older students, the focus is more about thinking aloud to compose and organize ideas and the teacher & students share the pen and make corrections, revisions together.
