Designed to turn students into successful writers, Write Traits includes everything teachers need to build a solid foundation in the traits of effective writing, support writing independence, and deliver flexible, effective instruction.
The Write Traits program comes as a complete, ready-to-use kit packed with lesson plans, writing models, and activities to help students learn, understand, and apply the six traits of effective writing.
Write Traits delivers comprehensive, cumulative instruction with:
Predictable three-step instructional routine (Introduce, Practice, Apply)
Mentor text examples of strong writing techniques
Strong and weak student models for guided discussion and analysis of key concepts
Student rubrics and revising checklists for evaluating, and reinforcing instruction
Lessons that clearly connect Conventions and Presentation to every other trait
Write Traits authors Vicki Spandel and Jeff Hicks guide teachers step-by-step through the process of empowering students to recognize the elements of good writing and incorporate them into their own writing and revision process.
