Trait # 1 Content Read the paper and ask: Are the ideas clear? Are there lots of details showing? Does the writer need to add more information? What questions are not answered? 1/1/2019 Mr. Kilmer - ITech

What is the difference between the two pictures? Shadows Lights Lines Ground Texture Good writing paints a picture with words 1/1/2019 Mr. Kilmer - ITech

Trait # 2 Organization Paper has a main idea Paragraphs talk about only one thing Each paragraph has a topic sentence Paper has a strong beginning Paper is easy to follow Ending is well thought out 1/1/2019 Mr. Kilmer - ITech

How is running a good farm like a well organized paper? How is running a good farm like a well organized paper? Places for all tools, seeds, animals, equipment; things can be found, not disorganized. The feed and seeds are not in the chicken coop, they are in the grain house, animals are not kept in the shed, but in the barn, grain is in granary or silo, not in garage. 1/1/2019 Mr. Kilmer - ITech

Word Choice is like a good tool Writing compositions can be much like woodworking. It is OK to experiment and try using different techniques to do the job. If a tool doesn’t work, try another one. The same is true with words. They are your tools. 1/1/2019 Mr. Kilmer - ITech

Trait # 5 Sentence Fluency Sentences are smooth and easy to read Sentences start in a variety of ways Some are short – some are longer Sentences are complete Transitions are used between paragraphs 1/1/2019 Mr. Kilmer - ITech
