3 Review Big Ideas Focus on limited number of genre.
Teach the critical foundation skills to mastery. Break down complex tasks. Provide explicit instruction. Provide judicious practice. Provide immediate feedback. Consider motivation. Frontload writing. Have students write short products often. Teach “Process Writing” including the what and how.

4 WHAT Consider the Six Traits
Ask yourself, what are the CRITICAL ATTRIBUTES of a well-written product. Consider the Six Traits Ideas Organization Word Choice Voice Sentence Fluency Conventions Consider the descriptions in the Standards. Analyze an example to determine the critical attributes.

5 What Design a simple, easy to understand RUBRIC.
Consider introducing only a portion of the rubric initially. Focus on ideas (content), organization, and conventions. Provide an EXAMPLE to illustrate the critical attributes. (Optional) Guide students in analyzing a non-example to determine missing attributes.

Summary - Just Say No to Uniforms In this article, Theresa Jenkins expresses her contention that schools should not require students to wear uniforms. She believes that requiring uniforms could have many negative outcomes including robbing children of their individuality, requiring them to wear clothing that is not matched to their body type, and increasing the wardrobe budget for families to cover the cost of regular clothing and uniforms.
