In ONE WEEK, Writing With Mentors will officially be out in the world. While you’re waiting, you can get a sample of the book on the Heinemann website! http://www.heinemann.com/products/E07450.aspx
We are also halfway through our Tweet-a-thon! We have gathered some amazing, hot-off-the-presses mentor texts in our #writingwithmentors Tweet-a-thon over the last week. Here’s what we shared on days 6 and 7.
It’s never too late to join in, though! Share a favorite mentor text — or even one that you haven’t tried before but think could have potential. Just asked yourself: could this teach students something about writing? Could it inspire student writing? If so, you are looking at a mentor text!

Yeah! I can’t wait for my copy to arrive in the mail.
