Question: How do
teachers define “voice” in student writing?
Answer: “…teachers
often expressed a meta-cognitive awareness of the challenges they encountered
when striving to make their standards for voice vis-à-vis a specific sample of
student writing.”
Comment: “Voice” in student writing is a murky term,
not clearly defined. It’s meant to express an individual’s individuality in
written expression, rather than an assumed voice like a skeptic. It really has
no place at the present time in high-stakes evaluation of student writing.
