In 6+1 Traits of Writing: The Complete Guide: Grades 3 and Up, I outline how the 6+1 TRAIT model is more than an approach to teaching and assessing writing. It’s a vocabulary that teachers use to describe their vision of what good writing looks like—any kind of writing. Whether it’s a story about a quirky music teacher, an essay on the effects of global warming, or a persuasive piece on why Harry Potter books should be in every school library, certain characteristics—or traits—make the writing work: ideas, organization, voice, word choice, sentence fluency, conventions, and presentation. Using the language of the 6+1 TRAIT model in our assessments gives us a shared vocabulary for speaking about and working with texts that students create.
