This mini-lesson offers a structured approach to reading like a writer. It encourages students to ask critical questions about texts, focusing on the author's techniques. Participants will learn to identify repeating phrases, underline supporting evidence, and discern structure. Key questions prompt exploration of the text's organization, the author's choices, and areas potentially left out or revised. The goal is to deepen understanding of writing styles and inspire students to apply these observations to their own creative writing endeavors.

questions of structure • How is the piece organized? • Why do you think the author chose to organize the piece this way? • Why did the piece open the way it did? • What do you think the writer left out of this piece – or cut in revision? • What did you notice that you might try in your writing?
