Bring Mentor Sentences to Light: Strengthen Grammar in Context

Using a mentor text to teach writing lends innovation to the idea of teaching good writing at the sentence level. Participants will not only examine the practice and philosophy of using a mentor sentence routine, but will also use authentic texts to choose and create mentor sentences they can take back to the classroom in this interactive session.
