CANCELLED: Support your School’s Writing Instruction (and your Teachers) with Mentor Texts Program McCormick Place Convention Center
S103a
Description :

Teachers in today’s elementary school classrooms use excerpts from texts written by accomplished authors as models for various aspects of writing. They come to the librarian for help to find "a good lead" or "books with strong characterization." By building a collection of such mentor texts the library becomes an important resource for a school’s writing program. This presentation shows how to build such a mentor text collection and gives school librarians tips to promote it within the school.
