Teaching Secondary Students to Write Effectively

V

Voice includes aspects of tone, mood, and style, and it tells the reader about the writer’s personality 

in the composition. Voice typically is assessed by rating how well the student establishes mood, tone, 

style, or his or her individual personality in writing.

W

The writing process is the approach a writer uses to compose text. Components of the writing 

process include planning, goal setting, drafting, evaluating, revising, and editing. These components 

are recursive. They can occur at any point during the writing process, and students should learn to 

skillfully and flexibly move back and forth between the components while composing text.
