Ok, I know all of the traits, and I have ideas on how to
use picture books with the traits, which i have done in
the past. My problem is that I don't know how to get a
real comprehensive writing program implemented in my
room. I am so confused! I have the Write Source books in
my room for writing/grammar.
So, can anyone tell me how your year works? How do you
incorporate your 6 traits, different styles of writing,
and grammar into your day? How does your typical day
work? Is there journal writing each day? Do you work off
of novels for writing? How do you get the narratives,
business letter writing, autobiographies, etc. in- do you
do this with 6 traits?
I just wish i had a set way of doing all of this so it is
meaningful to the kids.
Any help would definitely be appreciated.

prompt that focuses on the same theme or requires them to loo...See More
