Teach them English. The Literate Learner - InterActive Six Trait Writing Process. Six Traits Writing is a systematic approach for looking at writing one part at a time.
Since writing is such a complicated activity, this approach helps many people break down the task and understand it better. By focusing on and scoring only one trait at a time, a writer/reader can break down a complex activity like writing and make it more manageable. With practice, writers can then learn to be more critical of their own work and can make improvements in the quality of their writing. Perhaps, more than anything else, the six traits give teachers and students a common vocabulary for talking and thinking about writing. This web site provides an interdisciplinary approach to teaching and improving student writing based on the Six Traits Writing model. The links on the right provide an overview of the model along with the scoring rubrics for each trait.
