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.
