This document outlines the six traits model for teaching composition writing. The six traits are ideas/content, organization, voice, word choice, sentence fluency, and conventions. For each trait, the document provides a brief definition and examples of how to focus on developing that trait in students' writing. The overall goal is to help students pinpoint their strengths and weaknesses so they can improve as writers.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
2. The six traits model
To help a student’s development as a writer, focus
instruction on each area.
1.Ideas/content
2.Word choice
3.Sentence fluency
4.Conventions
5.Organization
6.Voice
3. Ideas/content
Writers should draw on their experience and prior
knowledge. The paper should be interesting and hold
the reader's attention all the way through. The piece
of writing should contain details that support the
writer's topic.
4. Voice
Voice gives a sense of the writer's personality and style. Over time, a
teacher should get the sense of "this is Johnny's paper," because
Johnny's voice is different from other students. Voice conveys feelings
and emotions. The language should bring the topic to life for the reader.
The voice should be appropriate for the topic, purpose, and audience of
the paper.
5. Sentence Fluency
Sentence fluency effects the readability of the paper.
Do the sentences flow from one to the next? The
writing should sound natural — the way someone
might talk. The sentences should have different
beginnings, not all starting with then. The paper
should have complete sentences, not fragments.
6. Organisation
Organization is the structure of the paper. The paper
should follow a logical sequence. There should be an
inviting introduction that "hooks" the reader. The body
should give supporting details to the paper's topic. The
ending should tie everything together.
7. Word Choice
Word choice allows the reader to form a
mental picture as a result of the words used by
the writer. Thus, words should be illustrative
and powerful. The use of action verbs may be
used to show the reader what is happening.
The adjectives should be as descriptive as
possible. Unique phrases or words may catch
the reader's eye.
8. Writing Conventions
Conventions consists of spelling, punctuation, capitalization,
grammar, and paragraphing. Conventions enhance the readability of
the paper. Spelling, capitalization, and punctuation should be
checked, revised, and corrected as necessary throughout the
"draft"process. Paragraphing should reinforce organization. Use your
districts writing standards to determine the standards that your
students will be responsible for mastering over the course of the
school year (e.g. contractions, paragraphing, etc.). Some of these
concepts may not be appropriate for all grade levels.
