Hello all! My name is Lili. Do you like to read? Do you like to 

write? 

I have some fun friends who will help you become a great 

writer and be successful in your writing! 

My friends are named after each of the 6 writing traits:

Ideas

Voice

Organization

Conventions

Word Choice

Sentence Fluency

This is Ideas, he is the heart of the message you want to 

get across to your readers. 

When you start your writing you will need to either 

brainstorm, make a list, or identify the main message. 

Observing pictures, arts, animals or any other objects can 

help kick start your ideas. 

Once you have your ideas get details to help support your 

idea and next you will be introduced to Organization! 

Organization does not like for writing to be all over the 

place and not make sense. 

This is why it is important to get to know Organization he 

teaches you to sequence the plot, group things together, 

and order your ideas and details to help readers 

understand. 

Organization consists of

Hi Voice! How are you today? 

Voice: Just peachy! (sarcasm) 

Voice is the feeling, personality and style the writer gives 

to the words he is writing. 

Voice includes figurative language, for example: "I am so 

hungry I can eat a horse."

"Tim is as tall as a giraffe." 

Attitudes and tones give voice to your writing and bring 

your characters to life!

Choosing rich, colorful, powerful, strong action and 

descriptive words will move and paint a mental 

picture for the reader. 

A few ways to help the writer with word choice 

are, to keep a list of favorite words and least 

interesting words or "tired" words, reading 

introduces you to new words you can use in your 

writing. 

The reader wants to read a writing that is 

interesting and creative. The use of word choice is 

crucial in keeping your audience interested.
