PictureZane Bloser mini-lesson on Voice from Six Traits
 have taught students in sixth grade through college, and the Six Traits of Writing* adapts to every level.  This semester I am teaching Comp 1 and I found a great resource for teachers who use Six Traits in Zane Bloser. I have used their PowerPoints in the past, and they are adaptable so I made them more college friendly by strengthening the examples and using text sets from They Say, I Say.  

I have no affiliation with the company, I just like their materials and recommend them to other teachers.  The Zane Bloser presentations are loveable because:
  • they are free
  • they are customizable
  • they have words that highlight so that you can see the examples.​

PictureHow to paste a PowerPoint slide and keep the original theme.
It is actually tricky to highlight in PowerPoint, so it is nice to have a pre-made presentation.  In order for the highlighting to stay consistent, however, I had  to copy and paste the theme into the current presentation.

To do this, copy the original slide, and then move into your new presentation.  Right-click on the slide right before you the place that you want to insert your new slide, and choose the middle paste button that says "Keep Source Formatting".

* I know it is more precise to say 6+1 Traits, but I am used to the old school wording.  Also, writing out numbers feels right.
