Writing

Welcome to Sixth Grade Writing!

 Writing Class Requirements Welcome! For the next nine weeks I will ask you to participate in a variety of writing activities. My goal is that you will grow as a writer. We will work to create a writer ’ s notebook that will be the source of topics for future writing pieces. We will also learn and practice the six traits of good writing: Ideas, Organization, Word Choice, Sentence Fluency, Voice, and Conventions. Our final project will be selecting a piece of writing to take through the writing process incorporating each of the six traits. I am looking forward to the next nine weeks, and I hope you are too! Your grade will be based on the completion of the following tasks. Classroom time will be given for working on each of the activities.
