  5. Helping to Ensure Excellent Writers RegieRoutman believes that these five things will help to ensure that students become excellent writers: • Demonstrate that you are a writer who always writes with a reader in mind. • Connect writing to reading through literature; notice what authors do. • Guide students to chose topics they care about by giving them choice in structure and give them time to talk and write about them. • Teach students the strategies they need to draft, revise, edit, polish, and publish. • Rely primarily on regular conferences with students to access and evaluate; note strengths, give feedback, teach and set mutual goals.

  6. Mentor Texts • Pieces of literature that you can return to and reread for many purposes. This allows you to dissect the book for it’s craft. They can be used to teach a skill or to motivate the students to write in a similar fashion.

  7. Table Top Twitter • Each person at your table should take one of the pictures books in your basket. • Determine ways to use the book as a mentor text- think about writing traits, genre, text structure, standards, etc. • “Tweet” your idea on your table top Tweet sheet. Remember to use the hash tag (book title) so that we can determine which ideas go with each book. • Share your ideas with small group. Decide upon one idea to share with the whole group. • Kristin will type up the “Tweets”
