Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

During the school year, we will explore many skills and concepts in writer's worksop, such as dialogue, narrative writing, poetry, and adding details. Read aloud mentor texts will allow my students to hear a quality text that was designed with those specific skills in mind.

Mentor texts provide great read aloud opportunities for students to hear and experience quality texts that connect the skills we are learning about in class and how they translate into quality writing.

My goal for this project is to be able to provide students with these excellent read aloud texts that correlate with our writing standards, curriculum, and skills. I want students to hear how these skills are used in texts so they will be able to learn how to include them within their own writing.

Grades 6-8
