A Story made of 6

     You've read my last posts about the 6 traits haven't you? If you haven't, click these hyper links: LINK #1- LINK #2 ~ After you have read these posts, read this one. It is called, The Story of the Six traits. 

                             Starring: Zack, Jason, Derrick, Angel 

   One day, I was looking out the window thinking of a good story to write, but I couldn't get any ideas. I decided to talk to Angel about it. "Angel!" I called "Can you help me with my story?" "Uhhhhhh... Did you use Ideas and Content?" "Ifleas and Bontenck?"I said, tongue-twisted. "No silly, Ideas and Content. You know, when you have a good topic and clear paper. Do you know about Organization?" "Yes I do! The one when your paper is organized and well thought. When it has a beginning, middle and end." I replied. "Good! Well I gotta go eat my spicy taco so we'll have to speak later, got it?" he said "Gotcha!" And I went to Derrick's house for more tips.

   When I arrived at Derrick's house he was sitting down playing his PS2. I said "Derrick, can you help me with my story? I asked Angel for help earlier but I'm going to need more help." Derrick turned off his PS2 and got down to business. "Well, do you know about voice? he said. "Yeah, sort of. It's when you make your voice stand out through the words in a way." "Right, but I think you forgot the parts about it being understandable. Also you must know Word Choice. That's when your words fit along with your topic. I'm getting bored. I'm playing the PS2. See ya!" That's when I decided to go visit Jason's house.

   When I arrived at Jason's he had plenty of tips for me. "Well, well, well. Look who finally got here. I know what you came to talk to me about." "How?" I asked. "I know all... and Derrick and Angel told me. You must hear about the last two traits of writing. First, Sentence Fluency. This is when your sentences are bountiful of fresh details and good words. Instead of using a lot, use multitudes! Next up is Conventions. They may not stand out but if you don't use Conventions, your story would be horrible. Like, don't use titles that don't go with your story and be sure to use spaces, commas, semicolons, and all those others where they are needed. Darrin's calling, bye!

   I rushed home and got to my story. I was done so fast that my hands almost fell off. I showed it to my friends after I was done. The 6 traits helped my story become from a horrible one to a spectacular one.  My story was organized, had good details, and the words really stood out.

      So you see? By using the six traits, you can make a good story like above.

I use organisation to put the ideas in the right place. I use ideas to inspire the story and content to fill it. I use sentence fluency to write more, and conventions are invisible but I definitely pay attention to them. I hope you can hear my voice all through!

Can I just say few warm words ;) It's so nice here, good atmosphere, well done :)!.
I am from Tonga and too bad know English, give true I wrote the following sentence: "Upright men which become the suspicion are potentially pulled, although they are straight in non-existent vesicles without a found particular forage."

Thanks for the help :-D, Blaise.
