While I only received one response to my request for feedback on the Write Traits writing program, I received numerous requests to post a hit (posted below). I've purchased the elementary/middle grade edition of the book _Books, Lessons, Ideas for Teaching the Six Traits_, published by Great Source Education Group, ISBN 0669481742, and even if a district is not actively teaching the Write Traits program, this book gives wonderful examples of books that characterize each of the six traits. There is also a high school version available. Generally, the program seems to offer a constructive way to teach students how to identify important elements in writing. Thank you to the LM_Netter who offered the following feedback, and if anyone else has information to share, please do! --------- Are you talking about the Six Traits writing program? If so, our district started it last year. I think the teachers were pretty happy with it and it seemed to be a good program. Their only complaint was that so much of it is subjective but that's what happens when you start judging someone's writing. The district had some people trained (not sure how many) and then those people trained everyone else in the district. Ours happened to be on our campus so we had easy access if we needed help. I think the materials provided depends on what your district buys. I hope this helps, if this is the program you're talking about. ----- Ann Arpin Elementary LMS Walpole, MA Arpina4@mediaone.net =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-= All postings to LM_NET are protected under copyright law.
