Track Mini-Lessons with Labels
Storing and organizing your writing mini-lessons within a file box is not a new idea. However, I've developed a new tool to aid your organization further. I've created six oversized labels, one per trait, that would adhere to the front of each of your 6-trait file folders. The sticker serves as a table of contents of sorts. It lists the types of skills you may want to have lessons for to target that particular trait.
The idea is that as you find lessons, ideas, and strategies that work for these different writing skills, you actually check off the skill beside where it's listed on the label. You always have a running list of skills that you possess and those that you are still seeking.
NOTE: On each of the six labels there is also room to write in additional skills and lesson ideas that I may have forgotten to include on the printed sticker.
