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

6-Traits Resources: Color Coordinated Traits! by LaRae Kendrick | 6-Traits Resources | Scoop.it
From 6-traits.blogspot.com - November 7, 2011 2:12 PM

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.

T.S. Eliot Reads The Waste Land

T.S. Eliot Reads The Waste Land | 6-Traits Resources | Scoop.it
From www.openculture.com - November 26, 2011 8:40 PM
T.S. Eliot’s 1922 poem, The Waste Land, is often considered one of the great poems of the 20th century. Above, you can listen to Eliot himself reading his modernist masterpiece (text here). And, if you want more, how about Eliot reading The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock, another major work, against the backdrop of Portishead? Sacrilege, I know.

 

You can find both poems in our extensive Free Audio Book collection, which contains hundreds of classic works. Fiction, non-fiction, and poetry. It’s all there, and all free..
