Meet the 6 Traits of Quality Writing October 2003

What are the 6 traits? Ideas Organization Voice Word Choice Sentence Fluency Conventions

Ideas

Ideas Ideas are the heart of any piece of writing… It’s all about the information Ideas paint pictures in a reader’s mind Informational text becomes reader-friendly Pay attention to ‘beyond-the-obvious’ detail Ideas demonstrate clarity, focus, sense of purpose

Organization

Organization is the internal structure… It’s not just paragraphs, but what’s in them! Does it make sense? Is the writing easy to follow? A well-laid-out road map? Does the lead ‘hook’ the reader? Are transitions smooth and appropriate? Is the conclusion satisfying?

isualize (Audience & Content) rganize (Outside the box) nterpret raft Voice isualize (Audience & Content) rganize (Outside the box) nterpret raft laborate or Eliminate VOICE

Voice is personality… and confidence Individuality and perspective Enthusiasm and expressiveness Is the author knowledgeable about the topic? Does the piece hold the reader’s attention? Is there real passion? Does the author care? Does the text just repeat common knowledge? Is the voice appropriate?

Word Choice Word Choice Sounds scrumptious! ‘A breath of fresh air…’ How exquisite! Sounds scrumptious! Listen to the serene stillness... ‘A breath of fresh air…’

Word Choice Word choice is clear, precise and colorful… Find the word that is ‘just right’ Stretch to use new, interesting words Think verbs, verbs, verbs (use high energy words) Avoid ‘Creeping Thesaurus-itis’ Eliminate tired, trite words Cut the fat… only use words that carry their own weight

Sentence Fluency

The rhythm and flow of the sentences… Sentence Fluency The rhythm and flow of the sentences… Sounds soothing to the ear… A variety of sentence length and structure Text begs to be read aloud Smooth transitions support fluency Punctuate. Periods are a good thing!

Conventions

Conventions Editing & revising for conventions… Use of proper format (indentation, margins, spacing, etc.) Correct use of capitalization, punctuation and spelling Maintain verb tense and subject verb agreement throughout composition Use adverbs, appositives, clauses and phrases correctly Use homophones and other vocabulary correctly

Remembering the 6 traits… Ideas Organization Voice Word Choice Sentence Fluency Conventions
