I'm in the process of changing schools (long story). I
don't know anything about my new school district
except they
are big on 6-trait writing. I've done the research and
know
the components but can't figure out how this is adapted in
Kindergarten? I have many questions.
Who uses this?
Do you teach all the traits or just some?
Do you have specific lesson plans to teach this
writing style?
When do you introduce this?
Do you have any great ideas?
In the past I have traditionally spent the first semester
practicing writing letters, drawing pictures for
representation of ideas, and then putting letter sound
associations with the idea (inventive spelling).
I start with sentence writing second semester. This
progression seems to work well. Maybe we work on these
skills more orally. I don't know. Give me lots of
information please.
