Based on the 6 + 1 Traits of Writing, I believe this student would benefit from working on the ‘conventions’ trait. Conventions are the writers skill in using, punctuation, spelling, grammar, capitalization, and layout, to clarify and enhance meaning (Winch et al. 2014, p.396). This students writing is in one large chunk with no commas or full stops to break up the story and convey meaning. Use of punctuation at appropriate intervals would improve this student writing skills.
