Creating Writers: 6 Traits, Process, Workshop, and Literature, 6/e,
truly puts the six traits of writing in context, showing how they
are best taught-within writing workshop and as a way of enriching
writing process by combining the elements of traits, literature,
workshop, and process. Written by the pioneer of 6-trait writing,
this edition organizes all materials by trait, features new
one-page writing guides, and offers an increased emphasis on
literature, connecting writing to reading as never before. It also
provides a clear link between the six traits and the Common Core
Standards for Writing and presents new lessons, engaging classroom
activities, suggestions for using technology, and an expanded
collection of student writing sure to promote lively discussions.
New to the Sixth Edition: Easy-to-follow organizational design
groups all papers, writing guides, literature, and lessons
pertaining to a given trait in one chapter. Expanded discussion of
writing workshop and process (Chapter 2) shows how to teach the six
writing traits within a meaningful context. Increased emphasis on
literature truly connects reading and writing with more titles,
expanded annotations, and a list of exemplary trade books ideal for
teaching informational writing. New one-page writing guides
simplify assessment, encourage self-evaluation, and display traits
in a flexible yet consistent way across a variety of formats,
including Teacher Writing Guides, Informational Writing Guides,
Early Guides (for primary writers), and Leap-the-River Writing
Guides for Students. Improved collection of student writing samples
includes over 80 exemplary samples that span a variety of grade
levels, abilities, and genres (such as narrative, informational,
and persuasive). New lessons that emphasize modeling show teachers
how and what to model (including many examples of revision). Clear
links between the six traits and the Common Core Standards for
Writing provide teachers assurance that their instruction is in
alignment with these standards. An extensive discussion of
technology (Chapter 8) expands our twenty-first century definition
of writing to include communication forms like PowerPoint, audio,
and video. Revised chapter on quality assessment (Chapter 12)
details ways to make both large-scale and classroom writing
assessment more quality-driven, student-centered, and useful. A
closer look at genre (Chapter 9) examines Purpose and Audience,
showing how and why genre might be considered an additional trait
of successful writing. Expanded interactive Questions &
Activities expand teachers' skills, stimulate their thinking, and
build a strong sense of community when used in a study group or
teacher preparation classroom. New Author's Notes throughout the
text speak directly to readers, citing additional resources, and
suggesting lesson adaptations, book recommendations, and ways of
differentiating instruction.
