Language Arts 6+1 Traits of Writing
VOICE Trait
Voice
The framework of the 6 + 1 Traits Writing Model identifies six qualities of good writing.
#5 Voice
You want your writing to sound like you, and no one else! When you write, you show who you are through words. No matter what type of writing you do, always make sure it sounds like you. Otherwise, your reader may not care about what you have to say. In fact, your reader may not even know who wrote it!
Idea Related Storybooks
When introducing the 6 Traits to students, many teachers read aloud a text that exemplifies the trait(s). This is the notion of mentor text. Students learn the evidence of the trait from mentors and how to imitate it within their own writings. Such mentor text often includes picture books. The text is short (which is important for a mini-lesson) and engaging for students.
