  10. Writing • Occurs outside the 90 Minute Block • 45 Minutes in length • 6 + 1 Traits • Ideas-The ideas are the heart of the message, the content of the piece, the main theme, together with the details that enrich and develop that theme.  • Organization-Organization is the internal structure of a piece of writing, the thread of central meaning, the logical and sometimes intriguing pattern of the ideas.  • Voice-The voice is the heart and soul, the magic, the wit, along with the feelings and conviction of the individual writer coming out through his or her words.  • WordChoice-Word choice is the use of rich, colorful, precise language that moves and enlightens the reader.  • SentenceFluency-Sentence fluency is the rhythm and flow of the language, the sound of the word and patterns, and the way in which the writing plays to the ear - not just to the eye.  • Conventions-Conventions are the mechanical correctness of the piece - spelling, grammar, and usage, paragraphing, use of capitals, and punctuation.  • Presentation-Presentation zeros in on the form and layout of the text and its readability; the piece should be pleasing to the eye.  • Writing Curriculum Binders available in your building—see your content chair, instructional coach, or building administrator • DSTP Stand Alone Writing Samplers
