A Must -Have For Every Middle School Teacher  April 5, 2011
by
Rating StarRating StarRating StarRating StarRating Star

I have been teaching 6th grade for 5 years and I was ecstatic when Ruth Culhams's Traits of Writing: The Complete Guide for Middle School (Theory and Practice) was released last year. My earlier elementary versions were dog-eared and manipulated to apply to my middle school writing environment. With this new release I have found it to be extremely targeted and well designed for grades 6,7,8. My students love to read and score the included writing samples, and the warm-up exercises are very age appropriate and are great writing starters for young teenagers. I would highly recommend Ruth Culham's Middle School Trait book as well all of her supplemental publications...NO SCHOOL DISTRICT SHOULD BE WITHOUT THIS WRITING SERIES!






Traits of Writing: The Complete Guide for Middle School: 5 out of 5 stars based on 1 user reviews.

Summary

The traits have revolutionized the way writing is taught. And nobody knows the traits better than Ruth Culham, who has written over 25 books and conducted countless workshops for teachers of all grades. Now, Ruth turns her expert eye to middle school. The Traits of Writing: The Complete Guide for Middle School contains classroom-tested materials developed just for teachers of grades 6-8. Brand-new scoring guides, scored sample papers, Think Abouts, warm-up exercises, focus lessons, and activities for each trait, organized by that trait's key qualities, make it easy to assess writing and deliver targeted instruction. With CD of reproducible forms. For use with Grades 6-8.
