The Six Writing Traits Drop off
| IDEAS FOR TEACHING WRITING |
| For my writing program, I use the Six Trait Analytic Writing Model. If you aren't familiar with this model, don't go away. Writing has simply been divided into the six areas, or traits, that teachers value most: ideas and content, organization, voice, word choice, sentence fluency, and writing conventions.

The following are lesson plans and activities that are focused around the 6-Traits. Many of these ideas were created for classes with access to computers. The computer icon distinguishes these lessons from the others. Most of the lessons can be modified for classrooms without technology. |
