In a synthesis of writing research paper, George Hillocks
found that using scales (rubrics like six traits) to assess
and guide instruction improves the quality of student writing.
He looked at 2000 studies and lined them up against a criteria
and categorized them. 6 traits is appropriate for ALL writing
grades. Mae
