Dear ElemTeacher,
Did you find anything that worked for you? I also teach 4th
grade language arts and came upon a sweet little program to
teach a daily trait lesson. I found "Daily 6-Trait Writing"
by Evan-Moor. So far it has worked out really well for my
class. I had to purchase it out of my own pocket, so was
looking for something fairly inexpensive. I would like to
hear from anyone else who has used it, but so far, I'm quite
pleased with it. An added advantage - you can purchase the e-
book so you can download it to your computer and print a page
whenever you need it. I eventually printed the entire book
and put it in a binder to have a hard copy. It breaks down
each trait, explains it well, and gives daily mini lessons to
put the trait into use. Monday through Thursday builds until
they use that part of the trait in their own creation on
Friday. I think you will like it. Hope this helps. It was a
lifesaver for me.
