Thankfulness

Random Thoughts....
​
Use this month to celebrate Thankfulness.

  • It's a great time for essays on people who have positively impacted us and/or our world., ways to celebrate, or traditions.
  • It's an excellent time to write stories or essays about Veterans, our holidays, fantasy stories about turkeys, freedoms, or pilgrims.
  • Encourage writing at every stage; include vocabulary words that enriches their daily writing.
  • Share ideas; share writing. Celebrate successes - no matter how large or small.

As I think about what should be written this month, my memory recalls friends and districts which encourage or mandate the use of 6 Traits.  First, let me say, Six Traits is a wonderful idea.  For myself, the ideas were solid, but I often I was at a loss for how to ultimately tie them all together.  Today, as I was doing a google search, Six Traits popped up in my writing search. It only took a few minutes to go over the concepts; they matched SFW in every way!  The templates for SFW are the missing link to tie it all together!

Strategies for Writing dovetails perfectly with 6 Traits, providing concise, simple templates to generate strong writing for all genres. In fact, the SFW templates complete six  straits, supporting it in all aspects of the program. (https://www.thoughtco.com/six-traits-of-writing-2081681)

If you are a teacher who follows six traits, but are a little unsure of where and how to implement the traits for the child who needs clarity, give Strategies for Writing a try!  It might be just the gift you need for this month!

Give Thanks!
