Trait Crate Plus—A Deeper Dive: Thinking Outside the Crate
This session provides a more in-depth look into Trait Crate Plus . We’ll review the best-selling book The Writing Thief: Using Mentor Texts to Teach the Craft of Writing by Dr. Ruth Culham to build your knowledge of the traits and their key qualities. We’ll also explore how to design lessons and select mentor texts that inspire incisive student writing. Learning outcomes: • Identify the writing traits in the mentor texts that you bring to the session • Define the narrative, informational, and opinion modes of writing in your mentor texts • Understand the components of a successful writing lesson • Develop trait- and mode-specific lesson plans inspired by the mentor texts in your classroom libraries
