Teaching with mentor (or model) texts is a critical part of teaching students to write well. To help students learn how to craft their writing in effective and beautiful ways, we show and discuss mentor texts in mini-lessons, small group lessons, and individual writing conferences.
In this series of virtual workshops, Carl Anderson will explain how to use mentor texts to teach students the craft of narrative and informational nonfiction writing. Participants will learn a practical, five-step process for integrating mentor texts into their teaching:
- How to select good mentor texts, and where to find them;
- Strategies for “immersing” (or familiarizing) students with mentor texts at the beginning of a unit of study;
- A step-by-step process for analyzing mentor texts to find multiple teaching points;
- How to match mentor texts to student needs as writers;
- How to teach with mentor texts in mini-lessons, small group lessons, and writing conferences.
- How to teach with mentor texts online
As part of the series, participants will study a variety of excellent narrative and informational nonfiction mentor texts, and will also watch videos that bring to life how to use mentor texts to teach students how to use craft techniques. |
