My school is going totally Lucy Calkins this year K-5. What
is the difference between Lucy and 6 traits? I've never
taught writing so I am lost in space....help!

We are suppose to use 6traits writing in our school. I'm
the only one on my grade level that took the workshop and
understand it. I have tried to explain that it's more
than putting a prompt on the board. There is so much

Do any of you have writing assessments to administer at
the beginning of the year?

Our school wide goal this year is to improve our writing
scores in the 6 traits. How can I encourage special areas

lessons? Computers, PE, music and art??
Thanks!

Looking on Amazon.com, I found two books by Ruth Culham
that offer suggestions of picture books to use when
teaching the 6+1 Traits. I can't tell how these two books

either of these books, how you liked them, and might one
be better than the other?

Does anyone know of some center activities that would
support trait development? I am especially interested in
Voice and Word Choice.

I am trying to combine the two. I use the 6 Traits for some
of my mini-lessons in the Writing Workshop (Calkins). This
year I hope to do more 6 Traits mini-lessons.
