Description
Trait Tote: Grades 6-8 Everything You Need To Teach 6+1 Trait Writing Strategies, mini-lessons, activities, student writing samples, and MORE to help you teach 6+1 Trait Writing in your classroom. As the original developer of the 6+1 Trait® Writing Model of Instruction & Assessment, the Northwest Regional Educational Laboratory has gathered the best of 20 years of material. We’ve combined it with the expertise gained from training thousands of teachers how to help students become better writers. Drawing from both those sources, we’ve produced this collection that allows you to “take the trainer home.” The Trait Tote features:
  • Teaching the Traits—A grade-specific guidebook that offers a road map for teaching each trait—complete with sample activities, student papers, and scoring guides
  • Introducing Trait Strategies—A comprehensive reference book with eight proven practices for building a trait-based classroom
  • 6+1 Trait® Writing DVD—An excellent training tool with insights about trait teaching from skilled practitioners, with each trait highlighted separately
  • Sample Papers—A collection of anonymous, grade-specific student writing samples to help students learn to recognize strong writing and improve weak writing
  • Dear Parent—An easy-to-read handbook that introduces parents to trait writing and explains how they can support their student
  • 6+1 Trait® Writing Mini-Posters—A set of colorful 8˝ x 11-inch cards with each of the trait icons
  • 6+1 Trait® Writing Rubric to Grade Converter—A time-saving device that lets you instantly translate rubric scores on the model’s four-, five-, and six-point scales into letter grades
  • 6+1 Trait® Writing Assessment Sticky Notes—Easy-to-use, self-adhesive notes to quickly record trait scores Use these tools to craft a writing program that helps students speak the language of the traits, identify what to aim for in their own writing, think about writing in new ways, and set writing goals.
