I'm always finding new 6-trait resources online. I'll include anything that will help writing instruction as well. Feel free to comment and suggest new resources! ~Den
6 + 1 traits is a great way to help focus your writing program, even if you are using another program as a primary tool. The following links will give you mini-posters, rubrics and activities for the general traits to help your students strengthen their writing in each area. For more specific lessons and templates, visit the links on the left.
The National Writing Project has launched a social network that all writing and reading teachers should consider. At a time when writing and writing instruction is generally neglected it is important for all of us to find others who understand and share the vision of what a truly literate person can be.
This is a new project for the NWP. You have a chance to be an 'early adopter' as you connect with other writing teachers from around the world.
I discovered this site today. I'm in the process of setting up my profile. 10 years of teaching online lets me know instantly how important the new NWP Community can be. I believe in the reality of online community and the support of virtual writing teachers. All it takes is a willingness to share and think.
Teachers have been introducing the trait language to students in a variety of ways. Here are some of my favorite 6-Traits introduction strategies. Thanks to all of you who have sent in new pictures! If you would like to email digital photos of how you have introduced the traits into your environment, we’ll post them on our website for all to see. Click on some of the photos below for a larger view of the bulletin board.
