Do everyone reccomend 6 + 1 trait writing for grading high

for six traits of writing?

I used 6 trait but if you need specific lessons to improve
writing, I love Basic Writing Skills by Dr. Judith
Hochman.The lessons can link to any content area and grade.
She trains all over the country. Once you use this, it is
hard to go to other models because the results from the

Thanks.

working with a child in Grade 3, one in Grade 7.

I see most people on this site using the methods from Basic
Writing Skills incorporated into 6 Trait. That is what my
