Hi all,
First time I'm posting on this chatboard.....
My school is implementing the six traits of writing this
year. We've already "done" ideas and voice, and we're
currently modeling organization. I recently did a lesson
using the picture book, The Secret Shortcut, and my kids
loved it. They got into groups and made their own secret
shortcut to school (with wild imaginations of what they
encountered). What I'm looking for now is an independent
writing project that would be just as motivating. I was
thinking about having them write a story about a cat's
nine lives, and how it escaped danger each time (using the
transitional words). I also thought I'd have them publish
it in an accordian book. Does anyone else have ideas out
there with something you've done which was highly
motivating? Just looking for some ideas or suggestions to
make my assignment better.
Thanks!
Carolyn

Hi Carolyn,
This is my first year to use 6 traits so I don't have a
lot of good ideas yet but I loved your idea with The Secret
Shortcut. I am going to start focusing on organization next
week! Thanks for the idea!
