Chapter book called PETS RULE! MY KINGDOM OF DARKNESS, written by Susan Tan & illustrated by Wendy Tan Shiau Wei. Cover shows a Chihuahua in the middle of a residential street, smirking. The dog is standing on its hind legs, with its "arms" folded across its chest.
I've read a lot of chapter books in the past few months, but--in terms of what I'm trying to do with my own manuscript --this is hands down my favorite. Reading it through again tonight before digging into my second draft tomorrow. #chapterbook #revision #mentortext #kidlit 📚👍🏻

So, this morning, I used this #mentortext of a movie review to pull mentor sentences, name the craft moves I saw within each, and then write my own about a novel I just finished. Then, used those sentences to shape a mini-review I developed. 1/2

I've Changed My Mind about _______.
This is a great #mentortext for student argument writing:
* Previous opinion? (Previous Claim + Outline of Previous Reasons)
* Why revise? (New Reasons +Evidence)
Mine would be about WICKED. :) What would yours be about?

The poem “A Pile of Good Things” by Amy Kay.
Used Amy Kay’s A Pile of Good Things as a mentor text today. It went so well 🥰

My students are good at identifying motifs in a text + what they represent, but their writing about motifs is awkward, clunky. They can't articulating it.
Here are some #mentortext patterns I found to help them. Maybe they will help your students, too.

TBH, this article is BRILLIANT.

It's a mentor text for SO many different writing skills. Not the least of which: making a "boring" topic fascinating. #mentortext #writingwithmentors

I’ve seen a pile of elementary teachers to great #MentorText writing and photo activities with Best Part of Me.
My mom died recently and I have been in a purple funk since. I haven’t been able to draw anything original so I decided to do some illustration studies and learn from artists I really admire. The original for this one is from the incomparable @amyjunebates #kidlitart #mentortext
If you want to write a cumulative story, add THE QUIET FOREST by @COffsay and @AbiCushman to your list of mentor texts. It's excellent.
It is also perfect for #funnybookfriday on IG. 💕
