Summary: Great info, inconvenient format
Comment: Creating Writers got me charged up and well-prepared for teaching sriting/revision using the 6 Trait model. Spandel writes well, using a combination of research-based information and personal anecdotes to keep the reader's attention. I appreciate the number and variety of samples she included for practice revision/assessment. The samples were, however, not very easy to duplicate for classroom use. The print is too small and there are often two samples on one page, or one sample on several pages. The layout is difficult to work with. Overall, though, the book is excellent. I have been to two training sessions about 6 Traits, but it took Spandel's book to get me hooked and enthusiastic, and made me confident about using the 6 Traits in the classroom.The information deserves a 5 star rating. The format deserves a 2.

Summary: This book is worth it!

Summary: 6-Trait Assessment is a Winner!
Comment: This book was written for writing teachers struggling to find a way to help their students improve, and veterans looking for a new approach. The 6 traits are ideas, organization, voice, word choice, sentence fluency, and conventions. Any characteristic of writing can be placed under one of these traits. The traits provide a common terminology for writing conferences, and help students focus on a specific area that can vastly improve their writing.
This practical, application-based book is filled with instructional techniques, rubrics, guidelines, sample essays, trouble-shooting solutions, mini-lessons, great ideas, and so much more. This was a required text in one of my graduate courses and is now my favorite book on writing instruction. If I could give it six stars, one for each trait, I certainly would.
