6+1 Trait Writing Scoring Continuum 1 Not Yet 2 Emerging 3 Developing 4 Effective 5 Strong Shows control and skill in this trait; many strengths present WOW! Exceeds Expectations On balance, the strengths outweigh the weaknesses; a small amount of revision is needed Strengths and need for revision are about equal; about half-way home Need for revision outweighs strengths; isolated moments hint at what the writer has in mind A bare beginning; writer not yet showing any control

Writing Next Report/ SUTW The Alliance for Excellent Education released the Writing Next report in October The report identified 11 Elements of Success for effective writing instruction in middle and high school grades.

1 Writing Strategies Involves teaching students strategies for: planning, revising, and editing

2 Summarization Involves explicitly and systematically teaching students how to summarize text

3 Collaborative Writing Involves students working together to: plan, draft, revise, and edit their compositions

4 Specific Product Goal Involves assigning students specific, reachable goals for the writing they are to complete

5 Word Processing Involves using computers and word processors as instructional supports for writing assignments

6 Sentence Combining Involves teaching students to construct more complex, sophisticated sentences

7 Pre-writing and Planning Involves engaging students in activities designed to help them generate or organize ideas for their compositions Informal Outlines Organization folders Templates for Organization Modeling

8 Inquiry Activities Involves engaging students in analyzing immediate, concrete data to help them develop ideas and content for a particular task Investigation Reading Discussion

9 Process Approach Writing Involves interweaving a number of activities— stressing extended writing opportunities, writing for authentic audiences, personalized instruction—in a workshop environment

10 Study of Models Involves providing students with opportunities to read, analyze, and emulate models of good writing

And lastly…11 Writing for Content Learning Involves using writing as a tool for learning content material—i.e.teach writing in math, science, history
