Writing Instruction Resource

The Write Genre: Classroom Activities and Mini-Lessons that Promote Writing with Clarity, Style, and Flashes of Brilliance. Lori Jamison Rog and Paul Kropp

This is a great reference for the instructor developing a genre-based writing course. It relies heavily on the Six Traits of Writing system. It contains useful writing examples, rubrics, and graphic organizers. While focusing on a later elementary and middle school classroom, the activities are easily adaptable to high school.
