Using the Literary Masters to Inspire Written Expression in Gifted Students
Sheila R. Alber, Christa M. Martin, and Deidra M. Gammill
Throughout history, gifted writers have enriched the human experience with the power and beauty of words. These literary masters enlighten us to universal truths, expand our minds to new ideas and visions, and challenge us to advance civilization. Exposing gifted students to the vast realm of important literature can inspire them to find their own voices and attain personal growth while making contributions to their culture. Their natural inclination to explore ideas and manipulate linguistic expressions endows gifted children with the potential to become great writers (Fraser, 2003; Kauffman & Gentile, 2002; Renzulli, Smith, White, Callahan, Hartman, & Westberg 2002).
