The 6 traits go Metaphor
It's me again! You've read my post, The Writers Best Friend, right? If you haven't yet, click that hyperlink back there. If you have, enjoy the Six Traits of writing, compared to an office!
Ideas and Content-- The people who make up the office. Say the principal and the counselor.
Organization-- How the computers are arranged. The computers would be seperated by xp or 98 version.
Sentence Fluency-- Different sizes of paperwork. Difficult work would be a larger sentence in a script.
Conventions-- An unclaimed paycheck. It wouldn't show but it is still there.
Word Choice-- The Boss of the office. He chooses which workers are good enough for his office.
Voice-- How strong the paper expresses. Kinda how if a paper is written stongly about a certain topic.
Well how did you like them? I think metaphors are a great way to show The Six Traits of Writing! Catch U later!!!!!
~What would you change about my metaphors? ~
Hmmmm. I might just add all the other people in the office to the ideas and content part because it takes a team to make it work at its best. Just think of all the good ideas that might be missed if you only included the principal and the counselor. What do you think?
On another note, I wish I could have seen you as a cowhand. I know you did a fantastic job. I'm glad you are thinking of continuing to be involved with drama.
Your writing continues to be delightful! I love reading each and every post!

Hi Zach,
That's a very clever way to help remember! I always tell my students that I tend to remember pictures better than words. I could "see" the office as you described it. A great image and "mnemonic" (memory trick to help you remember something)!
Cheers!

Some computers might be organised by different things like Linux or Macintosh. Like Macintosh for graphic design and Linux for servers (I oversimplify things!)
How does the boss hire and fire? I want to know!
Could you be more clear about the way Voice works and how it is linked to the others?
