http://helpkidswrite.com/MeetYourFriends/OliverOrganization/tabid/59/Default.aspx This site is an approach to teaching the concepts of writing in a way that will use multiple areas of the brain to connect a concept of learning in a way that will hopefully transfer into student writing. It uses an animated picture along with a story to introduce concepts that are used in Six Trait Writing. This particular example is about Oliver Organization. It focuses on paragraphs and stories having a beginning, middle, and end. This activity will focus on the cognitive aspects since children are problem solving a solution as part of the process. It is also cognitive in nature because the information is being processed in several areas of the brain.
