Virtual Lessons

Mentor - Mentor texts are pieces of literature that you—both teacher and student—can return to and reread for many different purposes. They are texts to be studied and imitated. - Lynne Dorfman

Model - It is important for learners to have models of not only steps and processes but models of thinking as well, answer questions like - Why did they do that? How did they make that decision?

Plan - Planning is a crucial step missing in many learners' creations. Most will move straight to the final creation, but planning gives the learner a personal toolbox for their creations.

Create - This is where the learning is put into action.

Share - Sharing writing, finished and unfinished, gives writers a purpose and an opportunity for feedback to continue growth. Of course, we'd love for you to share writing here.
