In writing we will focus on using the 6-traits. Please see the "6-Trait" Tab for more information. One trait will be introduced at a time to enhance our writing. I will introduce the traits through mini-lessons using various picture books. Students will be responding to these mini-lessons in a composition writing notebook.
In addition to the 6-traits, students will work on the writing process and different modes of writing, especially descriptive. They will be doing a practice assessment over descriptive writing in both the Fall and Spring. Some of the writing won't necessarily be completed in writing class, but in other subject areas.
