Catch of the Day - 6+1 Trait® Writing Lesson Plans - 4/21/2011

Education Northwest has compiled this collection of 6+1 Trait® Writing Lesson Plans that should be useful to any teacher at any grade level.

Teachers, evaluating student writing at all grade levels, identified common characteristics of good writing. These qualities became the framework for the 6+1 Trait® Writing model. Common language and scoring guides are used to communicate the characteristics of writing and define "what 'good' writing looks like."

The traits are:

• Ideas
• Organization
• Voice
• Word Choice
• Sentence fluency
• Conventions
• Presentation

Organized around the traits and grade level, teachers can use the 6+1 Trait® Writing Lesson Plans search form to find lessons that will work with their students and are specific to their students' needs.
