Verbal+Writing

Verbal Writing students have strength with language. They process (think) in words. They use words effectively to convey complete ideas to a variety of audiences. They write with advanced vocabulary, voice, fluency, clarity, and organization. Conventions may not be perfect all the time, but they do not interfere with the conveyance of meaning. Verbal students who have demonstrated formal achievement in writing need activity and product options that include analytical, critical and creative thinking skills. These students will benefit most by having opportunities to workshop with other advanced writers (at least some of the time) and to participate in creative and other types of diverse writing opportunities. They will flourish with opportunities to write like professionals.
