I know people have posted lists of books to use for each trait. I used 2 of those lists to go pick up some picture books from the library just today. I appreciate people who compiled and posted the lists, but I'm just thinking of a way we could help each other out as we plan for next year.

As soon as I read through the pic.books and decide how I'm going to use them, I'll post the title of a book and give a brief description of how I plan to use it. I'm wondering if others would be willing to do the same?

BTW, I posted my lesson plan chart for my lessons on Ideas and included the pic.books I plan to use. I'm working on Organization now.

I am interested in your PIC list, what grade is it for?

Besides Writing fix, Fargo Six Traits has tons of books and lesson ideas for each trait. It's fantastic.

I posted my lesson plan chart a thread (below) called "pacing chart help." My plans could be used for 4th or 5th.

A Bad Case of Stripes is the 4th gr. Ideas Trait Crate picture book. Nothing Ever Happens on 90th Street is the 5th gr. Ideas Trait Crate book. I know my students didn't have 6-Traits writing in 4th grade (2/3 of them were my students!) so I am using both books in my Ideas lesson plans for my 5th graders.

Thanks, stretchberry, for reminding me of the Fargo website.
