Abstract: The 6+1 Traits of Writing model provides a comprehensive framework for teaching and assessing writing. This report delves into each trait—Ideas, Organization, Voice, Word Choice, Sentence Fluency, Conventions, and Presentation—providing research-based evidence supporting its efficacy. We examine the use of rubrics, formative assessment strategies, and the overall impact of the 6+1 Traits model on student writing development.

1. Introduction to the 6+1 Traits of Writing

The 6+1 Traits of Writing model offers a holistic approach to teaching and assessing student writing. This framework moves beyond simply grading grammar and mechanics, offering instead a multifaceted lens through which to analyze and improve writing skills. Developed by Northwest Regional Educational Laboratory (NWREL), the model emphasizes the interconnectedness of various elements contributing to effective communication. These elements, or traits, are: Ideas, Organization, Voice, Word Choice, Sentence Fluency, Conventions, and Presentation. Understanding and applying the 6+1 Traits of Writing allows educators to provide targeted feedback and guide students towards becoming more effective writers. This model has been widely adopted across the United States and beyond, demonstrating its effectiveness in improving student writing proficiency. Numerous studies have shown a positive correlation between the implementation of 6+1 Traits of Writing and improved student outcomes in writing assessments.

2. Detailed Analysis of Each 6+1 Trait

2.1 Ideas: This trait focuses on the content and substance of the writing. Strong writing begins with clear, focused, and engaging ideas. Research shows that students who brainstorm effectively and develop strong central ideas tend to produce higher-quality writing (Graham & Perin, 2007). Assessing ideas involves considering the depth, development, and originality of the thoughts presented.

2.2 Organization: This trait refers to the structure and flow of the writing. A well-organized piece of writing has a clear introduction, body, and conclusion, with logical transitions between paragraphs and ideas. Studies have demonstrated that explicit instruction in organizational strategies, such as outlining and graphic organizers, significantly improves students' ability to structure their writing effectively (Fitzgerald, 1999).

2.3 Voice: Voice reflects the writer's personality and attitude towards the subject matter. Engaging writing possesses a distinct voice that connects with the reader. Research suggests that allowing students to write on topics they are passionate about can significantly enhance their voice (Graves, 1983). The development of voice is a crucial aspect of the 6+1 Traits of Writing and requires nurturing and encouragement from educators.

2.4 Word Choice: This trait focuses on the precision and effectiveness of the language used. Strong word choice involves using vivid, precise, and appropriate vocabulary to convey meaning effectively. Research highlights the importance of vocabulary instruction in enhancing the quality of students' writing (Beck, McKeown, & Kucan, 2013).

2.5 Sentence Fluency: Sentence fluency refers to the rhythm and flow of the writing. Well-written sentences are varied in length and structure, creating a smooth and engaging reading experience. Studies indicate that explicit instruction in sentence combining and sentence variation techniques can significantly improve sentence fluency (Strong, 1986).

2.6 Conventions: Conventions encompass the mechanical aspects of writing, such as grammar, spelling, punctuation, and capitalization. While important, conventions are best taught within the context of the other traits, rather than in isolation. Research demonstrates the importance of integrating grammar instruction with writing practice (Weaver, 1996).

2.7 Presentation: This trait, often overlooked, focuses on the visual appeal of the writing. Presentation includes factors such as neatness, formatting, and the overall visual impact of the text. A well-presented piece of writing enhances readability and leaves a positive impression on the reader.

3. Assessment and the 6+1 Traits of Writing

The 6+1 Traits of Writing model facilitates both formative and summative assessment. Formative assessment, which occurs throughout the writing process, provides ongoing feedback to students, allowing them to revise and improve their work. Summative assessment, which takes place at the end of the writing process, provides a final evaluation of the completed piece. Rubrics based on the 6+1 Traits provide a structured and consistent framework for providing feedback. These rubrics guide both the teacher and the student in identifying strengths and areas for improvement in each trait.

4. Research Findings and Supporting Evidence

Numerous studies have demonstrated the positive impact of the 6+1 Traits of Writing model on student writing development. Research consistently shows that students who are taught using this model exhibit significant improvements in their writing skills across various traits. Furthermore, the use of rubrics based on the 6+1 Traits has been shown to enhance the clarity and consistency of teacher feedback, leading to improved student learning.

5. Implementing the 6+1 Traits of Writing in the Classroom

Effective implementation of the 6+1 Traits requires a multi-faceted approach. Teachers need to provide explicit instruction in each trait, model effective writing, and provide ample opportunities for students to practice and receive feedback. The use of mini-lessons, writing conferences, and peer review sessions are crucial components of effective implementation. The creation of a supportive and encouraging classroom environment where students feel comfortable taking risks and experimenting with language is essential for fostering writing development.

6. Conclusion

The 6+1 Traits of Writing model provides a powerful and comprehensive framework for teaching and assessing writing. By focusing on the interconnectedness of various aspects of writing, this model equips students with the skills and knowledge they need to become effective communicators. The research consistently supports the efficacy of this model, and its widespread adoption testifies to its value in improving student writing outcomes. Continued research and professional development in the area of writing instruction will further refine and enhance the effectiveness of the 6+1 Traits model.

Written with passion, humour and wisdom, Reading Like a Writer will inspire readers to return to literature with a fresh eye and an eager heart – to take pleasure in the long and magnificent sentences of Philip Roth and the breathtaking paragraphs of Isaac Babel; to look to John le Carré for a lesson in how to advance plot through dialogue and to Flannery O’ Connor for the cunning use of the telling detail; to be inspired by Emily Brontë ’ s structural nuance and Charles Dickens’ s deceptively simple narrative techniques. Most importantly, Prose cautions readers to slow down and pay attention to words, the raw material out of which all literature is crafted, and reminds us that good writing comes out of good reading.

6 1 writing traits: Made to Stick Chip Heath, Dan Heath, 2007-01-02 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The instant classic about why some ideas thrive, why others die, and how to make your ideas stick. “Anyone interested in influencing others—to buy, to vote, to learn, to diet, to give to charity or to start a revolution—can learn from this book.”—The Washington Post Mark Twain once observed, “A lie can get halfway around the world before the truth can even get its boots on.” His observation rings true: Urban legends, conspiracy theories, and bogus news stories circulate effortlessly. Meanwhile, people with important ideas—entrepreneurs, teachers, politicians, and journalists—struggle to make them “stick.” In Made to Stick, Chip and Dan Heath reveal the anatomy of ideas that stick and explain ways to make ideas stickier, such as applying the human scale principle, using the Velcro Theory of Memory, and creating curiosity gaps. Along the way, we discover that sticky messages of all kinds—from the infamous “kidney theft ring” hoax to a coach’s lessons on sportsmanship to a vision for a new product at Sony—draw their power from the same six traits. Made to Stick will transform the way you communicate. It’s a fast-paced tour of success stories (and failures): the Nobel Prize-winning scientist who drank a glass of bacteria to prove a point about stomach ulcers; the charities who make use of the Mother Teresa Effect; the elementary-school teacher whose simulation actually prevented racial prejudice. Provocative, eye-opening, and often surprisingly funny, Made to Stick shows us the vital principles of winning ideas—and tells us how we can apply these rules to making our own messages stick.

In the book that People magazine proclaimed “beguiling” and “fascinating,” Robert Greene and Joost Elffers have distilled three thousand years of the history of power into 48 essential laws by drawing from the philosophies of Machiavelli, Sun Tzu, and Carl Von Clausewitz and also from the lives of figures ranging from Henry Kissinger to P.T. Barnum. Some laws teach the need for prudence (“Law 1: Never Outshine the Master”), others teach the value of confidence (“Law 28: Enter Action with Boldness”), and many recommend absolute self-preservation (“Law 15: Crush Your Enemy Totally”). Every law, though, has one thing in common: an interest in total domination. In a bold and arresting two-color package, The 48 Laws of Power is ideal whether your aim is conquest, self-defense, or simply to understand the rules of the game.

6 1 writing traits: Creating Young Writers Vicki Spandel, 2012 From highly acclaimed author Vicki Spandel comes the most comprehensive exploration of six-trait writing from the inside out, in terms teachers and their students can understand. In response to primary teachers' requests for ways to use the six-trait approach to writing with K--3 students, this book is the result of years of analysing primary writing, watching primary writers at work, and talking with teachers and students to see just how the traits show themselves in the work of our youngest writers. Unlike other books on the six traits, this one shows teachers exactly how to teach traits in context, as an integral part of writing process and writing workshop. Together, these three elements-traits, process, and workshop-combine to place young writers on a path of unprecedented success. Designed to give practicing and new teachers a more in-depth understanding of the writing process and how it connects to the six traits, while encouraging them to write continuously with students and model their own personal writing process, the book is a goldmine of activities, strategies, and lesson ideas ideal for use in the K--3 classroom or as part of a study group.
6 1 writing traits: Creating Writers Vicki Spandel, 2008 Written by the pioneer of 6-trait writing, this fifth edition brings everything up to date, offering a comprehensive overview of the best education strategies and philosophies of writing assessment and instruction. It provides clear guidelines on helping students draft, assess, and revise their writing, as well as explicit criteria to show students precisely what they must do to succeed as writers in virtually any situation. Because the six traits are so widely used at the state level, many school districts are incorporating them into state standards and state assessments. This book can dramatically help teachers to prepare their students for success on state tests and beyond. Give students the preparation they need to become writers for life!

The author explicitly identifies key strategies, making this chapter much more user friendly and easy to skim for favorite moments. Spanish translationsoffered for some key items: Leap the River rubric for students, a Spanish student checklist, and--also brand new--Spanish trait summaries for use by teachers in introducing the traits. Strategies for challenged writers–-and for those who need a challenge–-are part of virtually every chapter, from lessons to process to recommendations from teachers. Those who work with struggling writers will gain ideas for making revision small and manageable, while those who work with more advanced students will discover ways to make trait-based writing as challenging as their students can handle. New primary continuumsinvite even the youngest writers into the trait-based classroom, all while emphasizing instruction, exploration, and discovery–-not assessment. Study group discussion questions and activitiesoffer challenging and diverse ways for study groups or students in a writing class to extend their learning and work in teams. This book is intended to be used by groups who are serious about rethinking and redesigning their writing instruction and who wish to make the six traits part of that plan. Increased emphasis on informational writingappears throughout the book, both in examples and in lessons.
