“Communication can be divided into two major categories: receptive (the elements that we understand) and expressive (the elements that we use to let others know our thoughts). Receptive and expressive communication occurs in, both, oral and written language. In assessment, expressive communication is measured by analyzing writing and making “writerly” choices. That is, students outwardly demonstrate their ability to use written forms of communication to express their thoughts and ideas based on the choices they make. Elements of storytelling provide the foundation for application of skills and creation of novel ideas.” (more)
