Writing Trait - Word Choice

This is when we ask ourselves questions about our writing, such as:

Have I chosen the most precise word?
Have I used any unique words?
Did I repeat common words too many times?

For our "organization" practice, we are writing postcards about our summer vacations.

Stop by our hall next week to see our final drafts. (This week we are working on rough drafts and revisions.)
