By Ruth Culham

Book Overview

Trait expert Ruth Culham has created a diverse set of papers for grades 3-5, assessed and annotated, so teachers and students can use them as the focus of trait-based writing instruction. The papers are highlighted by key quality for each trait, making it easy for writers to see what works and what doesn't by simply pressing the color-coded buttons at the bottom of each projected paper on the white board. Can be used with overhead projectors as well.

Includes writing samples, and scoring guides, and interactive versions of a high and low paper for each trait
