- 1. 6 Traits ofWriting The 6 Traits of Writing highlights six key characteristics of ‘strong” writing... • Idea • Organization • Voice • Word Choice • Sentence Fluency • Conventions
- 2. The strategies usedto create this PowerPoint are based upon Posner’s method of organizing using a “content structure” in which instruction is organized by skills or concepts to be learned. You will find a list of skills, to be taught and learned, related to each of the Six Traits. I further used Smith & Ragan’s “events of instruction” to present each Trait using an introduction, a body (variety of activities), a conclusion, and an assessment.
