Standard 3.3:
All students will write in clear, concise, organized
language that varies in content and form for different audiences and purposes.
Descriptive Statement: Using graphic symbols (e.g. printed letters,
words or numbers, pictures, or braille) enables students to express ideas,
needs, wants and feelings in symbolic form to a variety of audiences.
Writing enables students to organize as well as to express their thoughts
and information, such as when preparing a shopping list or reading a get
well card. Writing may take many forms such as handwriting, typing,
drawing a picture, selecting a word or picture from a resource bank or
dictating to a scribe.
