Author's Craft

  

I know it has been several months since I updated the Literacy and Learning Blog!  I have been collecting many great articles and resources to share with you along the way.  I hope to get back to blogging and share these great resources!
This month the writing PD focus is on teaching author's craft.  We will continue our focus on using mentor texts.

 I saw Katie Wood Ray at the WSRA Convention a few years ago.  She talked about her favorite mentor text to teach students about author's writing craft.  She said the Ranger Rick Magazine would be her favorite resource.

What is your favorite text 

to teach writing with?
