The 6 (+1) Traits of Writing *Ideas *Organization *Word Choice *Sentence Fluency *Voice *Conventions * + Presentation Altered and Adapted for Viking Middle School Seventh Graders by: Sarah Pollock Created by: Jennifer Heidl-Knobloch & Jody Drake
Ideas & Content “The ideas are the heart of the message, the content of the piece…all the details that enrich and develop the theme.” --Northwest Regional Educational Laboratory
If you don’t care about what you write about, your reader will be bored!
Ideas & Content A writer should: ~ Narrow the topic to something specific ~ Use a fresh, original perspective ~ When possible, write from experience ~ Use important, interesting details (not just common knowledge)
Organization “Organization is the internal structure of a piece of writing, the thread of central meaning, the pattern.” --Northwest Regional Educational Laboratory
Organization A writer should: ~ use an inviting lead that hooks the reader ~ use logical and effective order, structure, & sequence ~ use smooth transitions to emphasize the main idea(s) ~ place supporting details where they are most appropriate ~ use a conclusion that gives the reader a sense of resolution
Word Choice “Strong word choice clarifies and expands ideas…moves and enlightens the reader.” --Northwest Regional Educational Laboratory Don’t tell me the moon is shining; show me the glint of light on broken glass. --Anton Chekhov
Word Choice A writer should: ~ Use words that create a mental picture for the reader ~ Use powerful, vividaction verbs ~ Use specificnouns and adjectives ~ Use language that is natural and not overdone ~ Be concise (tighten sentences) ~ Use words correctly ~ Avoid repetition, slang, and clichés
Sentence Fluency “Sentence fluency is the rhythm and flow of the language.” --Northwest Regional Educational Laboratory “To me the greatest pleasure of writing is not what it’s about, but the music the words make.” --Truman Capote
Sentence Fluency A writer should: ~Vary sentence beginnings ~ Vary sentence structure ~ Vary sentence length ~ Use complete sentences ~ Use transitions to promote cadence
Voice “It is the heart and soul of the writing, the magic, the wit, the feeling, the life and breath.” --Northwest Regional Educational Laboratory
Voice A writer should: ~ Write honestly and from the heart ~ Interact with the reader *without using the pronoun YOU* ~ Use language that brings the topic to life ~ Care about your topic ~ Use expression to voice personality
And lastly… CONVENTIONS
Conventions Some of you may not enjoy the editing process, but without this step, the other 5 traits could be overshadowed by errors that distract the reader. This trait is essential to a polished composition.
Conventions A writer should: ~ Turn in a clean, edited, and polished final draft ~ Reinforce the organization with good paragraphing ~ Use correct punctuation (. ? ! , ; “ ”) ~ Use correct spelling (Spellcheck? Homophones?) ~ Use correct grammar(Tense? Subject-Verb Agreement?)
Presentation A writer should: ~ Turn in work neatly (not wrinkled) ~ Have an intriguing, enticing title ~ Present to the class confidently ~ Present to the class with an appropriate volume ~ Articulate words (no mumbling!)
Quotations to Inspire What is written without effort is in general read without pleasure. Samuel Johnson We write to taste life twice. Anais Nin
