Presentation transcript:

A trait can be defined as a quality or a characteristic critical to successful performance. Just as there are traits for performing beautiful music or playing various sports, there are traits for excellent writing. The six traits for excellent writing include ideas, organization, voice, word choice, sentence fluency, and conventions.

The ideas are the heart of the message, the content of the piece, the main theme together with the details that enrich and develop that theme. A paper with excellent ideas is clear, focused, and holds the reader’s attention. Ideas are the reason for writing. Parents can suggest that their child ask the following: Is my message clear? Do I know enough about my topic? Is it interesting? Is my topic small and focused? Did I show what was happening?

Organization is the internal structure of the writing, the thread of central meaning, the logical and sometimes intriguing pattern of ideas. Organization gives direction to the writing by drawing the reader in. It enhances and showcases the central theme. Everything fits together like a puzzle. Parents can suggest that their child ask the following: Does my paper have a great beginning that captures the reader’s attention? Are my ideas in the best order? Does my paper have a strong ending?

The voice is the heart and soul, the magic, the wit, the feeling and conviction of the writer coming out through the words. Voice gives the writing personality, flavor, and style. In a paper with strong voice, the writer speaks directly to the reader and is sensitive to the reader’s needs. Parents can suggest that their child ask the following: Does this writing sound like me? Did I say what I think and feel? Does my writing have energy and passion? Is it appropriate for my audience and purpose?

Word Choice is the use of rich, colorful, precise language that moves and enlightens the reader. Word Choice adds to the writing and makes it almost come alive. Precise words add energy and clarity. Words convey the intended message in a clear, interesting, and natural way. Parents can suggest that their child ask the following: Will my reader understand my words? Were my words accurate, original, and just right? Did I use energetic verbs? Did I use language that paints a picture?

Sentence Fluency is the rhythm and flow of the language, the sound of the word patterns, the way in which the writing plays to the ear—not just to the eye. Sentence Fluency gives the writing rhythm with an easy flow when read aloud. Sentences are well built with varied structures. Sentences are clear and powerful. Parents can suggest that their child ask the following: How does my writing sound when read aloud? Do my sentences begin in different ways? Are some sentences long? Are some sentences short?

Conventions are the mechanical correctness of the piece—spelling, grammar usage, paragraphing, capitalization, and punctuation. Conventions deal with fixing the writing so the piece is as error-free as possible. Parents can suggest that their child ask the following: Is my spelling correct? Did I use the proper grammar? Did I paragraph correctly? Did I use periods, question marks, commas, and quotation marks correctly? Did I use capital letters correctly?
