When I taught voice the first day to my students, I did start with how they knew who was yelling their name on the playground. It was a good lead in.

We didn't go into = it, because it doesn't apply equally to all grade levels, but I think it is excellent for helping students who are at the point where they need to worry about what a paper looks like. It might have been on the NWREL = page, and there is a link from our home page, at the top. NWREL uses 5 point rubrics, and the 6-point ones come from the state of Oregon Dept. of Education. To get that 6th point, just add the wow! factor, and words like "extremely." =3D) Susan Nixon 2nd Grade Phoenix, AZ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- End of 6Traits Digest -- To unsubscribe, send any message at all to: 6Traits-off@.
