Each of the 25 weekly units provides trait-based writing practice in concise activities that cover the essential traits of strong writing: ideas, organization, word choice, sentence fluency, voice, and conventions. The weekly units present a writing skill on Day 1, and writing activities progress in difficulty until students apply what they’ve learned to a writing prompt on Day 5. Daily 6-Trait Writing is easy to use and offers you the flexibility to teach weekly units in consecutive order or to pick and choose lessons to meet student needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e25 weeks of instruction cover the following trait-based writing skills:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnit 1: Ideas\u003cbr\u003e Week 1: Focusing Your Topic\u003cbr\u003e Week 2: Supporting the Main Idea\u003cbr\u003e Week 3: Developing Story Elements\u003cbr\u003e Week 4: Maintaining Your Focus\u003cbr\u003e Week 5: Writing from Experience\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnit 2: Organization\u003cbr\u003e Week 1: Organizing Information Logically\u003cbr\u003e Week 2: Connecting Details\u003cbr\u003e Week 3: Deciding on the Organization\u003cbr\u003e Week 4: Writing an Effective Introduction\u003cbr\u003e Week 5: Writing Effective Conclusions\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnit 3: Word Choice\u003cbr\u003e Week 1: Communicating Clearly\u003cbr\u003e Week 2: Writing About Action\u003cbr\u003e Week 3: Using Figurative Language\u003cbr\u003e Week 4: Avoiding Overused Language\u003cbr\u003e Week 5: Writing for the Topic and the Audience\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnit 4: Sentence Fluency\u003cbr\u003e Week 1: Creating a Purposeful Rhythm\u003cbr\u003e Week 2: Varying Sentence Structure and Length\u003cbr\u003e Week 3: Fluency in Poetry\u003cbr\u003e Week 4: Using Quotations\u003cbr\u003e Week 5: Writing a Smooth Paragraph\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnit 5: Voice\u003cbr\u003e Week 1: Using Your Own Voice\u003cbr\u003e Week 2: Writing from Different Points of View\u003cbr\u003e Week 3: Making a Story Engaging\u003cbr\u003e Week 4: Using the Right Voice for the Purpose\u003cbr\u003e Week 5: Connecting with Your Readers\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ehttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/CZVYH-vlhpg?rel=0\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Evan-Moor Educational Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47049384329456,"sku":"9781609638801","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781609638801_p0.jpg?v=1769903153","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781609638801","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
