6+1 Trait® Spanish Writing- Rúbricas para la evaluación
The 6+1 Trait Spanish Writing model is not a direct translation of the 6+1 Trait (English) Writing Model. While some aspects and traits of English and Spanish correspond, not all do. This model is intended for native Spanish speakers who are not fluent in English, yet need to learn the basic principles of writing without the additional challenge of being forced to use an unfamiliar language. Once both writing and English are learned, transition over to the English 6+1 Trait model will be easy.
