More and more, teachers are requesting educational resources that go
beyond traditional teachers guides and activity sheets. So while I do still
have those kinds of materials on my website, I’m also offering resources that
delve deeply into the nonfiction reading and writing process from an author’s
point of view.
Some of these resources focus on books I’ve written and describe various
stages of my creative process in detail, while others provide more general
information and highlight books written
by a wide variety of nonfiction authors.
On Mondays this year, I’m sharing some of these resources and providing
ideas for how they might be used in the classroom. Today, I’m going to continue
discussing the Writing Activities and Mentor Text sections, which you can
access by clicking on the Nonfiction Writing Resources icon.
Under the Rich Language link, you’ll find a description of this text
element as well as an activity with mentor texts that gives students an
opportunity to identify various common language devices.
