Online Writing Lab (O.W.L.) - http://www.edina.k12.mn.us/concord/teacherlinks/sixtraits/sixtraits.html  Most of the links take you to the official 6 trait writing site (NWREL), but the classroom Poster site is perfect - ready to print and use.
Picture Books for Teaching 6-traits writing - http://www.geocities.com/oberry1790/index.html  Books are color coded to help you identify which traits are highlighted to use them as models for your students.
Six Traits Writing Assessment - http://www.cyberspaces.net/6traits/  Not the official site, but it has such a wealth of ideas collected by teachers that go beyond the 6 traits including strategies; synonyms for said and asked; story souvenirs; rubrics; and mini-lessons.
