Innovative Ways to Use the 6 Traits
Edit title

Part of: Completed/Archived edit

I would like to use more innovative lessons that will create excitement and keep their writing progress moving forward.

Did you love to write as a student? Many of my 150 seventh grade students don't either! They have not found the enjoyment of writing and as their teacher, I am finding it difficult to motivate them on a daily basis. I would like to use more innovative lessons that will create excitement and keep their writing progress moving forward. Keeping all 150 students motivated will be sparked by using three excellent research based resources which use the 6 Traits of Writing; The Going Deep with Comparison & Contrast Thinking, The Writing Across the Curriculum Guide, as well as The Going Deep with 6 Trait Language Guide. All three are published by The Northern Nevada Writing Project, a not-for-profit organization. These books can be reviewed at http://www.unr.edu/educ/nnwp/publications.html Please consider my request for $65 so I am able to purchase these books. This purchase will continue to benefit students in future years and have a huge impact. hide
