OVERVIEW: I will introduce a new writing curriculum we are rolling out called Traits Writing from Ruth Culham. This includes the writing process we have been using but stresses the 6+1 traits (ideas, organization, voice, word choice, sentence fluency, conventions, and presentation). We will specifically look at the first two steps in the process: pre writing and drafting.
HOMEWORK: Students will have a short writing assignment that aligns with these traits and steps each night.
QUIZZES/TESTS: none
*WINTER BREAK ESSAYS DUE TUESDAY 1.15.13
