Mentor Text Mini Lessons

Our Tuesday writing workshop went well today. I reviewed how to make a writer’s notebook. I went over our Mentor Text Mini Lesson on Leads that authors like E. B. White and Katherine Patterson use in their writing. I am planning tomorrow’s Mentor Text lesson on narraitive poetry. I think I’ll use two books: Momma, Where Are You From…? by Marie Bradby and Where I’m From… by George Ella Lyon.
