Conventions“Anything a copy editor might deal with under the heading of conventions: spelling, punctuation, capitalization, paragraphing, grammar and usage. The whole purpose of this trait is to enhance readability-to make information enticing and accessible.”

SCORING CONVENTIONS
Look for what is done well.
Look beyond spelling.
Do not overreact. Do not consider
neatness or handwriting when assigning a score.

6-Trait Writing is all about revision!

From Donald Graves’ book, A Fresh Look at
Writing
“Unless we show children how to read their writing,
their work will not improve. If we help children take
knowledgeable responsibility in reading
their own work, we not only help them be effective
lifelong writers, but we shift the responsibility for their writing to them, where it
belongs.”

Things to DO today
Create a class of good critics. Give students the editing pen and
proofreading symbols. Create a classroom where students learn
to find topics. Train students to assess their own work
and be in charge of their own revision. Make reflection a habit in your class.

Things You DON’T Have To Do Today
Read every paper your students write.
Correct every grammatical error your students make.
Pick topics for your students’ assignments.
Be the expert that fixes all your students’ work!

Six Ways to Teach Traits
Introduce the concept of traits-and traits themselves.
Surround students with writers’ language. Teach students to be assessors of their own
and others’ work - use self-assessment in revising and setting goals.
Use written works to illustrate strengths and weaknesses in writing.
Use focused lessons to help students develop skills in each trait.
Teach students to do focused revision.

How Does This Fit Together?
Teach writer’s workshop.
Introduce the traits which enhance the writing process.
Traits help students understand modes or forms of writing.
