Purposeful and Transparent
ABLE students are normally interested in working towards their GED. Many are developing life skills while working towards that goal. The writing process and the skills necessary to write so others can understand are necessary to achieve both. Students should recognize that the skills they use to write information for their personal use are the same skills needed to pass the GED Language section.
Contextual
Putting writing to use in a real life context gives a sense of usefulness to the writer. When writing about an item the student personally wants to sell, learning becomes meaningful in his or her own life. Though this activity took place in the classroom, the product could be used outside of these boundaries.
Building Expertise
Working through the process of writing while developing skills to improve clarity clearly builds towards expertise. Step by step instruction will serve as a model for the student to follow in the future.
