What's up?
It's Wednesday, which means I'm linking up with Jivey for her Workshop Wednesday series.
Today's topic? Mentor Texts!
I've previously blogged about my Mentor Text library here.
For a refresher, my Mentor Text library looks like this:
And my books are labeled, like this:
But I thought I would go into more detail about what books I have in my 6 Traits bucket, which is where I pull most of my Mentor Texts from when I am teaching writing.
A lot of my books overlap with the traits (they're usually good for more than one)-so I won't be listing the individual traits-that's another post! (many other posts!)
The Books:
 |
| I Wanna New Room; Diary of a Wombat |
 |
| Weslandia; Wilfrid Gordon McDonald Partridge; One Tiny Turtle |
 |
| Sloppy Joe; Chester; Harriet, You'll Drive Me Wild! |
 |
| Jeremy Draws a Monster; Memoirs of a Goldfish; I Wanna Iguana |
 |
| A Tree Named Steve; Thunder-Boomer!; How I Spent My Summer Vacation |
 |
| Swim! Swim!; What Do You Do With a Tail Like This?; How to Be a Good Friend |
 |
| Eats, Shoots & Leaves; It's Okay to Be Different; Hello Ocean |
 |
| Encounter; Substitute Creacher; Work's Adventures with Lewis and Clark |
 |
| LaRue Across America; If Dogs Were Dinosaurs; LaRue for Mayor |
I hope you found some new books for teaching writing!
