TIPS FOR USING MENTOR PACKET:
- I usually make packets of these for my students to keep in their writing notebooks.
- These pages work great when you project the larger page with mentor excerpt on large class screen.
- Perfect for use as whole group lessons and skill focus such as warm-ups, writing activity, teacher station, independent activity or partner activity.
- When using I myself use this packet to teach whole group skill, then allow students to complete independently.

Mentor sentences are great but can be challenging to implement. This makes it easy. Appreciate the format, which guides students through a review of the skill, gives examples, and then opportunities to apply the skill. Students also got a kick out of recognizing passages from the books we have read. Thank you for creating this resource!
