Writing Occurs outside the 90 Minute Block 45 Minutes in length Traits Ideas- 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. Organization-Organization is the internal structure of a piece of writing, the thread of central meaning, the logical and sometimes intriguing pattern of the ideas. Voice-The voice is the heart and soul, the magic, the wit, along with the feelings and conviction of the individual writer coming out through his or her words. Word Choice-Word choice is the use of rich, colorful, precise language that moves and enlightens the reader. Sentence Fluency-Sentence fluency is the rhythm and flow of the language, the sound of the word and patterns, and the way in which the writing plays to the ear - not just to the eye. Conventions-Conventions are the mechanical correctness of the piece - spelling, grammar, and usage, paragraphing, use of capitals, and punctuation. Presentation-Presentation zeros in on the form and layout of the text and its readability; the piece should be pleasing to the eye.
