Mentor Text Defined: "A piece of literature that is chosen and used by an individual to study craft or some aspect of craft." ...Isoke Nia Isoke Nia says: "When you read like a writer, books should weigh twice as much because of what you can see inside the book." Katie Wood Ray says: "We often forget that writers make thousands of choices as small as whether or not to include an "and" in a sentence. Conversations about the decisions writers make as they craft their texts will help you and your students to better understand what decisions you have to make as you write your own texts."
