Category Description for Daily 6-Trait Writing

Use alongside any composition program: the 125 trait-based lessons divide into 5 units that each contain five weeks of instruction. Each lesson identifies the writing convention, highlights a skill, and then includes a teacher lesson plan, reproducible student pages and a writing prompt. Correlated to current standards, the instruction is scaffolded and provides grading rubrics (with directions for use). Pages are grouped by these 6 traits and are indicated on the bottom margin: ideas, organization, word choice, sentence fluency, voice, and conventions. Daily assignments are manageable and varied. These books include directions for each unit and answers in reduced format. The perforated pages are reproducible for single use only. 160 pgs, pb. ~ Ruth
