In this session, fourth and fifth grade teachers will work to understand the 6-Traits of Writing: Ideas, Organization, Word Choice, Voice, Conventions, and Sentence Fluency. Teachers will apply the Reader's eye to different genres to use author's writing as Mentor Texts. Writing with the Six-Traits gives teachers and students a focus. Which of the traits do I need to strengthen? Which combination of traits do we need to study?
Opportunities for sharing, questioning, and discussion will be offered throughout the day. Co-Teachers are welcome to attend together as well!
