Purposeful and Transparent
Adult learners bring many positive and negative experiences to ABLE, some may focus on writing anxiety. By introducing the writing standard early in the student's learning, the teacher is being explicit about establishing writing criteria of expertise.

Contextual
Immediate application of the standard allows the student to use these skills in a writing activity and begin the process of transfer to other writing situations.

Building Expertise
Using the Think Sheet Strategy provides a scaffolding technique for students as they move from novice to expert writers.
