What do YOU think are three most important traits of a childcare teacher?

Pre-write • Write three traits that you have chosen in the boxes on the graphic organizer

Pre-write • Don’t forget the conclusion Why do you think these traits are the most important characteristics for a good childcare professional?

Rough Draft • Now it’s time to organize your thoughts: – You are a childcare director who needs to hire a preschool teacher

Your assignment is to write an employee profile that describes the three most important traits that you are looking for in a childcare professional.

Decide which of your brainstorming ideas fit best and highlight them on your pre-write. Let’s look at the format that you will be using for your employee profile paragraph.

3. 8 Paragraph Format • Three main ideas • 8 sentences – Containing supporting details or FIRES – Linked using transitions See your resource handout for help with transitions or paragraph frames

3. 8 Paragraph • Sentence 1 introduces your three main ideas • Sentences 2 and 3 discusses/supports/explains your first idea • Sentences 4 and 5 discusses/supports/explains your second idea (Do you see a pattern here? )

3. 8 Paragraph • Sentences 6 and 7 discusses/supports/explains your third idea • Sentence 8 is your summary or conclusion

Rough Draft • It’s time to turn your brainstorming into sentences. • Follow the format to stay organized

Final Copy • This time you will put your sentences into a paragraph format – not separate sentences. – Remember to indent the first line • Refer to your resource handout for help using transitional words. • Write in blue or black ink

Final Copy • Use the writing rubric to edit your work. • Ask someone to read your paragraph to you out loud so you can hear if your writing makes sense. • If they stumble over your words, you probably have grammatical errors to fix.

Final Copy • Re-write if you need to fix any errors. • When you turn in your work it should include your pre-write, rough draft and all your final copies and editing rubrics. Staple in a packet with the oldest in the bottom and the newest • work on top
