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

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.

"...my classroom is a place where my students spend time piecing together what they have learned, critically evaluating its larger purpose, and reflecting on their own learning. It also means my students don’t acquire knowledge just for the sake of acquiring it. They need to do something with it — that’s where “project-based” comes into play.

 

Finally, technology is embedded into the structure of all we do. It’s part of how we research, how we capture information, and how we display our learning. It’s never an accessory tacked on at the end."
