An enthusiastic author visit from Tim O'Shei reminded us reading and writing at any level can be fun. As Tim O'Shei mentioned a tool to help us with our writing is the 6 Traits.
The 6 Traits For Writing
Ideas - Is my idea clear? Do I have enough information?
Organization - Does my paper have a good beginning and ending? Have I told my ideas in the best order?
Voice - Does the writing sound like me? Did I say what I truly think and feel?
Word Choice - Have I used any words I love? Have I used any interesting words?
Sentence Fluency - Are some sentences long and some sentences short? Is my paper easy to read aloud?
Conventions - Do I have my words spelled right? Did I use punctuations marks correctly? Did I use capital letters in the right place?
