Do you also love tying in social studies with ELA? Here’s another tricky skill to teach, mainly because it’s hard to find quality primary sources that also tie into a topic you’re covering.Using the #mentortext, The Oldest Student by Rita Lorraine Hubbard, and some primary source images, you’ll be able to help students not only learn more about an event in history, but they’ll also “read” pictures the way that Mary Walker did in order to learn about Chattanooga’s Great Flood.Use the 5 Ws to analyze images - sounds simple, but it’s so helpful for looking at all the details in a picture!Get the complete week of plans for this fabulous mentor text! www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/The-Oldest-Student-Mentor-Text-Unit-for-Grades-3-5-5524060 ...

They are related, but there are still differences to note between the two! The Crayon Man is the perfect mentor text to show multiple problems that lead to a solution, as well as problems that arise as solutions are in progress, which students need to see- after all, it's usually not as simple as "I have a problem and here's how to solve it," right? Check out the whole mentor text unit in my TPT store, which covers text structure, biographies, paired texts, and vivid verbs! www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/The-Crayon-Man-Mentor-Text-Unit-for-Grades-3-5-7391557Grab the mentor text using my amazon affiliate link: amzn.to/3AmuEKH (it doesn't cost you anything extra, and the few pennies I earn from your purchase goes toward book giveaways)! ...
