=Welcome to **//Talladega Writes//**: an instructional model that fuses"//Writer's Workshop//" with the "//6 Traits of Writing//"= =by //**Jill Maenner & Karen Wills**//!=

If you're visiting this wiki, it is likely you participated in our "Talladega Writes" presentation through the Maryland Writing Project or through your district's professional development series.

We are so excited to offer this site for access to all the materials we shared...and much, much more! Please know that this is our second year piloting this model. While it has proven to motivate and inspire our students to become stronger writers, we do not claim this is a "one-size-fits-all" approach to K-12 writing instruction. Below you will find downloads of our ready-to-use materials BUT we encourage you to adapt them to your curriculum, grade-level, classroom theme, and students' ability.

//*Adobe Reader, Microsoft Word and Microsoft Publisher software required*//

Feel free to leave comments or questions on our DISCUSSION tab, too...we'd love to hear how this model works for you & your students!
