Hello to all six traits experts!
I'm new at using the traits but really want to incorporate them
into my mini-lessons for writing workshop next year. I've
already worked out a year long plan for this. Anyway, I have a
question about seperating the traits. I plan to teach all the
traits (quick introduction) at the very beginning of the year
to expose my students early on to the 'language of the
traits'. I will continue to use the language on a daily
basis. But I wanted to do an IN DEPTH study of each trait for
about 1-3 weeks along with teaching the writing process (of
course, depending on the needs of my students).
Does this make sense? I don't really think it is teaching the
traits in isoloation becuase I plan to expose them early on to
the language and will continue to use the language each day.
Any advice, tips, suggestions, etc. would be GREATLY
appreciated.
Thanks!
