The process described in the scenario is an example of scaffolding writing, where the teacher provides support and guidance to help the student develop their writing skills. The teacher helps Ted plan his message by drawing a line for each word he says, and then guides him in writing the message using letters or symbols on the lines. This approach helps the student gradually learn how to write more independently by providing them with support and structure.
