6+1 Traits PC MAC CD learn writing program for classrooms skills assessments + Type: Application Platform: Windows/Mac Publisher: Colorado Dept. Of Education Released: 2000 Media: CD THIS INTERACTIVE CO-ROM SHOWS TEACHERS HOW TO INCORPORATE A POWERFUL NEW WRIT/NG PROGRAM INTO CLASSROOMS. Students can learn to love writing if we teach them to recognize and incorporate the characteristics of good writing. HERE'S HOW THE TRAITS CAN HELP: They define what good writing looks like. They provide a language that helps students understand what they're doing well and what needs work. They provide a link from writing assessment to instructional practice. SCORING In the Tutorial/Practice session, we'll help you score a paper using the 6+1 Traits. Once you've picked a paper and decided which Trait you want to score, the Rubrics give you a point-by-point assessment tool. A simple calculation, developed by NWREL, takes scores for any number of traits, across multiple samples, and converts them to a single percentage grade. CSAP: Links to the relevant 6+1 Traits Rubrics are provided to show where CSAP elements are covered by the Traits. IN THE CLASSROOM You'll find information about: tips, strategies, instruction, genres, and resources. Teachers talk about 6+1 Traits in the classroom.
