Thirty-six trait-focused writing lessons designed by Kindergarten and 1st grade teachers

Thirty-six writing lessons (six lessons for each of the six traits...six by six) contained on this guide's 158 pages. During 2008, this print resource was created by a dozen kindergarten and first grade teachers working together, determined to find a way to bring trait language to their students and classrooms.

Appreciated praise for our Going Deep with Compare and Contrast Thinking Guide for Teachers

"Like all the NNWP guides, Going Deep with Compare and Contrast Thinking takes abstract thinking and embeds it in highly practical lessons that teachers of all grade levels and content areas can use instantly.  I have never seen books so jam-packed with fun lessons that animate learning and promote student engagement. But  what makes these books so special is that they are created and refined by the same teachers and students who use them. The NNWP has created an engine for learning and curriculum development we can call learn from."

--Barry Lane, author, The Reviser's Toolbox and 51 Wacky We-Search Reports

From 1995- 2007:
The Elementary Writing Guide

Two beloved resources for over a decade in Nevada, in 2007 they just became too expensive to print anymore. These 400+ page guides served as "cookbooks of fresh ideas" for Northern Nevada teachers. Thanks to two grants and to the generosity of the Washoe County School District, these guides were put into the hands of thousands of Nevada educators.

Many of these guides' resources can now be accessed for free at the WritingFix website.

Here's a little secret: We actually have several boxes of these guides back in the warehouse. To encourage outside-of-Nevada participation at our website, we will send a copy to any teacher who either...

• a) sends us a polished student sample for one of the lessons (picture book lessons, chapter book lessons, or poetry lessons) at WritingFix where we are missing a student sample or...
• b) shares a lesson idea on our new traits chalkboards at our idea development homepage, our organization homepage, our voice homepage, our word choice homepage, our sentence fluency homepage, or our conventions homepage.

This is your only chance to own a printed piece of Northern Nevada history...once our few remaining copies are gone, they're gone. E-mail Corbett Harrison for details.
