It is very important to know and teach the 6+1 Writing traits to help students develop writing skills. I compiled, added color, and organized a few great resources I found on-line into one document for easy reference. There is also a catchy song that I made up to the tune of head, shoulders, knees and toes to help students and teachers memorize the 6+1 writing traits. The pages in this word document download answer questions:
What are the six traits?
What do you look for within each trait?
