---

What do trait-based writing lessons look like in action? In this book, Megan Sloan shows how the writing traits can inform instruction in a highly motivating and engaging way. She shared more than 25 effective mini-lessons that help students strengthen their writing by learning about the traits. Through lively classroom discussion and samples of modeled and shared writing, Megan takes us inside her classroom to observe trait-based teaching firsthand. Her lessons focus on different stages of the writing process, from pre-writing to publishing, and feature a variety of teaching strategies. She includes student writing samples, list of books to use as springboards, rubrics, checklist, and more. Megan shows how to make the traits accessible to young writers in a way that empowers them with key skills and fosters a love of writing.
