Hello all! Just wondering if anyone has any good ideas for
teaching revision. I've tried starting with teaching the
traits and having the kids rate and critique sample papers
for different traits. However, how do you get the kids to
transfer that to their own writing or their partners
writing? They have an op...See More

The Revision Toolbox: Teaching Techniques That Work by Georgia Heard is an excellent resourse. When students put a piece of writing away for a few days(weeks), they are able to look at it more critically when they revisit the piece. At the time they write the original draft they've go so much energy invested it is difficult to look at the piece cri...See More

Despite my efforts, some students in my class continuously
write concluding sentences that need more excitement and
creativity. They are stuck in a rut with "That's what I
like to do on snow days" or "This is what I like to do on

Hi Everyone,
I preparing my 7th grade class to read The Giver. I wanted
to have them read a short story on a utopia / dystopia to
prepare them for these concepts? Does anyone have a good
suggestion?
Thanks

now there is a free animated lesson on their site to help
kids zoom in on a main idea. It's great!

I have a question about six traits. Several of our faculty
members attended a workshop about six traits. I was not one
of them who attended. The presenter suggested that at each
grade level only certain traits are to be taught. For
example, at second grade only the trait of ideas would be
taught. In thir...See More

Does anyone have a FUN and interesting prompt for foreign
language (specifically German)? I want to try to spice up
the mid-winter slump by stimulating my students to write
something either in English about the culture and language,
or in German.
Thanks!

Can anyone tell me if they are aware of a publisher who is
producing the 6+1 program in French?

Hello, I am a little nervous about posting what may be
construed as a criticism; but I simply must plunge in
despite the consequences. Six Traits has tons of stuff for
teachers who teach kids who already write. What about
those of us who get the little guys who don't know
anything? Give us a toolkit to s...See More
