This year your child will expand their writing skills through creativity and research. They will develop these skills by implementing the 6+1 traits of writing, daily writing exercises, journaling, writing letters to pen pals, creative writing assignments, and research projects.
I will grade each writing assignment using a rubric that covers all 6 traits of writing. The class will discuss, practice and apply each individual trait to their writing. I will only grade your child's piece on the trait we are discussing. By the end of the school year your child will be graded on every trait.
