A unique trait-based resource from expert Ruth Culham, this big, informative flip chart is a student-friendly guide to the traits (ideas, organization, voice, word choice, sentence fluency, and conventions). For each trait, you'll find a definition, writing tips, a scoring rubric, and two model essays (low- and high-scoring samples). The large print and oversize pages make it perfect for mini-lessons, small-group work, conferences, and more. The ideal companion to any trait-based writing classroom. 13, 2-sided, flip-over leaves. 15" x 20-1/2". Grades 3-5. ISBN: 0-439-79420-X
