Poet's Paradise: A Collection of Helpful Resources Our Northern Nevada 6-Trait Print Guide and Inservice Class Hello, my name is Dena Harrison, and I have been Coordinator for 6 Trait Initiatives sponsored by the Northern Nevada Writing Project since 2004. Each year in Northern Nevada, our NNWP hosts several trait-inspired inservice classes for teachers, it oversees dozens of 2- and 3-hour workshops at school sites, and it develops new 6-trait resources that are freely shared on this page. In addition to working with the Northern Nevada Writing Project, I teach 7th and 8th graders in Northern Nevada. In 2006, many of my lessons and resources, as well as lessons and resources from dozens of my fellow Northern Nevada teachers, were published together in a marvelous print resource: The Going Deep with 6 Trait Language Guide. Our Trait Inservice continues in Northern Nevada. If you plan to use any of this page's resources in your classrooms or during your own professional development classes, please be sure to read our permission policy.
