6+1 Traits of Writing A refresher
What are they? • Ideas • Sentence Fluency • Organization • Word Choice • Voice • Conventions • Presentation (+1)
I. Ideas • Make up the content of your piece • When ideas are STRONG, your overall message is CLEAR • In your writing, you should move your ideas from the general to the specific.
What do I do with it? • First, select an idea (the topic!) • Then, narrow the idea (focus!) • Elaborate on the idea (develop!) • Finally, discover the best information to convey the idea (details, details, details!)
II. Sentence Fluency • The flow of the language • The sound of word patterns • The way the writing plays to the ear, not just the eye • Not sure? Read it aloud!
III. Organization • The internal structure of the piece • The thread of meaning • The logical pattern of ideas • Paragraphing, paragraphing, paragraphing
IV. Word Choice • At its best when it includes the use of rich, colorful language • Your goal should be to move and enlighten the reader
V. Voice • The soul of the piece • It’s what makes the writer’s style singular • Your convictions (beliefs, personality) should come out in the words • IT’s all about you, you, you!
VI. Conventions • Spelling • Punctuation • Grammar
(+1) Presentation • Zeros in on the form and layout • How pleasing the piece is to the eye • If typed, double spaced and Times New Roman • If hand written, blue or black ink and every other line • And, of course, nothing on your paper that doesn’t belong there
Why? • Let’s you become problem solvers of your own writing • Lets me give you meaningful feedback, not just a grade
