Welcome to the third episode of the Writing Tip Wednesday Series! This week's tip is all about using mentor texts.
Teaching writing can be made easier by using mentor texts - especially if you are not confident in your own writing abilities. I love using mentor texts in my writing lessons.
Mentor texts can be a great way to model writing techniques that you want your students to start using in their own writing. Using mentor texts shows students what are possible and provides different writing examples. Even better, the writing examples are done for you. All you have to do is find a book that showcases the techniques you want to teach.
