6-Traits Resources: Color Coordinated Traits! by LaRae Kendrick

6-Traits Resources: Color Coordinated Traits! by LaRae Kendrick | 6-Traits Resources | Scoop.it

My characters, "Our Six Writing Friends," are color-coded and organized by the colors of the rainbow, ROYGBV.

 

To begin the revising process, I ask students to use crayons, pens or digital highlighting and read through their work 5 times...

 

...Now they are ready to take the colorful draft and create a clean and polished final draft. "Polished, not Perfect!"

 

This step-by-step revising is best for assignments that the students have spent a fair amount of time on, usually the types of writing required by the grade-level standards.

When Ed Knight wants to find out what his 6-year-old did in school, he can scroll the Twitter feed on his iPhone for clues to start a conversation with his quiet son, who sometimes holds back when recounting details of his day.
