Re: six Trait Writing

[Margaret Schimmels <megschimme@FEIST.COM>]

"From Debra Kilcup:

I am interested in learning of any picture books which you feel are great
for introducing, demonstrating, etc.  the qualities of 6 trait writing."

An *extremely* useful book on using picture books to teach the six trait
writing model is available from Northwest Regional Educational Laboratory
(NWREL) titled _Picture Books: An Annotated Bibliography for Teaching
Writing_ (Fourth Edition, 1996) by Ruth Culham and Vicki Spandel.  I haved
used it so often, I finally bought my own copy.  If you don't have a
library copy and your district is involved with writing, especially the six
traits, by all means, purchase this book at your first opportunity.  The
Northwest lab website is http://www.nwrel.org/.  Search in the products
database.
