  • My best paraphrase of his answer is this: A mentor text is a published piece of writing a teacher uses during a writing lesson to either a) teach a writing skill or to b) motivate the students to want to write something similar.
  • I am always on the look-out for what I call the perfect mentor text. My criteria for "perfection" has become the following: 1) the mentor text is well-written and engaging; 2) the author of the mentor text directly speaks about skills that a real writer uses; and 3) the mentor text can be re-read multiple times in the same school year without become boring or repetitive.

  Corbett's website is great. I used a website evaluation tool to make comments on it. Of course, I was interested in focusing on mentor texts, but his website actually has a lot of other materials. Explore!
