    Post: Writing Workshop and 6 traits

    Posted by Jay Collins on 7/04/08

    I love writing workshop and am beginning to have more
    fondness for the 6 traits. Actually they are great. They
    help students communicate about their writing and think
    about their writing away from grades.

    Nancy Atwell's "In the Middle" (?) or "Writing in the
    Middle" is the bible in terms of using writing workshop for
    all your needs. I swear by it, even if I can not remember
    the title.

    And poetry is fantastic. Poetry 180 is a great website that
    gives you a poem a day to start your class with. Billy
    Collins put it together.

    My question is how do you all make students become excited
    about rewriting and revising their stories? Once they have
    their scores and marks they do not use the traits well
    enough to go back and add more whatever to improve their
    ideas and content or sentence structure.
