Our first writing homework was on narratives to compliment our work in writers workshop. I grade their work based on the 6 traits of writing. This picture gives you a general "checklist" of what each trait is. Based on their first homework, I have split the students into 3 differentiated writing groups. Two groups are going to be working on writing conventions. The other group will be working on developing their ideas in writing. I will meet with them in small groups and their homework will be based on their specific writing needs for narrative writing.
