Hi, Susan,
> I was the one who told you all to keep an eye out for this book. It is
WONDERFUL FOR WORD CHOICE!!!!!
I knew I heard something wonderful about it! My mind stored the info and
flagged my attention when I saw it! Thanks for the heads up. I like your
jar idea. That would be even more easily accessible for the students than
the "Sparkling Words" book!

Diane,
Hello, my name is Donna Morgan. I teach seventh grade language arts. I =
have
just recently attended a workshop on the "Six plus one traits of writing." =
I
was wondering if you might be able to suggest which trait I should start
with. My students have already written quite a bit this year. How might =
I
introduce the six traits in the middle of the year? We are doing a lot of =
the traits already; we just use a different language. I would appreciate
suggestions you might have.
Thanks
