Late yesterday evening, I was finishing up plans for my next writing class. My students will be reading sample essays and trying to evaluate them based on a Six-Traits approach to writing. They'll be working in groups, so I thought it would be fun if they had some judges' cards to hold up showing the score they decide is appropriate in each area for each essay. Sure, I could have used a sharpie and fired off some cards in moments, but I wanted something a little more fun. Sure, they could make cards themselves, but we don't have much time. I teach at a home school organization where we only have one hour together each week. Enter the Silhouette. With some neon index cards, a sheet of black cardstock, a glue stick, and about 15 minutes start to finish, I made these cute cards for my class to use next week. Plus, this gave me the perfect excuse for a few minutes of papercrafting therapy :)
