    Mentor sentences are the perfect way to teach grammar and author’s craft through examples of excellent sentences from your favorite read-aloud books!

    This unit will be a great way to use mentor sentences during your science integration with Gail Gibbons’s books!

    It does not include explicit directions of how to implement mentor sentences in your room- these directions are in the Volume 1, FIRST Ten Weeks: Mentor Sentence Unit, Volume 2, FIRST Ten Weeks: Mentor Sentence Unit, or Volume 3, FIRST Ten Weeks: Mentor Sentence Unit products for sale.

    Not familiar with mentor sentences? Read all about them here!

    *****************************************************************************
    WHAT’S INCLUDED?

    I walk you through each day’s lesson for 6 weeks- all the work is done! I’ve even done all the thinking for you when it comes to revising and imitating! 🙂 Each lesson includes the teacher sentence page, the student sentence page, a lesson plan page with possibilities for all 4 days, an interactive activity with the focus skill, and a quiz aligned with CCSS with answer key.

    Please download the preview file to see the layout. There are 6 lessons for the following books:

    -Stargazers
    complex sentences

    -The Moon Book
    prepositional phrases

    -Bats
    commas in a series *provided with & without Oxford Comma

    -Spiders
    compound predicate with vivid verbs

    -Tornadoes!
    relative adverbs

    -Hurricanes!
    comparative and superlative adjectives

    I chose books that would be in most personal libraries or school media centers. All of these are personal favorites of mine!

    *****************************************************************************

    *The mentor sentence lessons I have created are adapted from the ideas of Jeff Anderson. These lessons were born from the routine that worked well in my classroom, and the demos and examples I present are variations of Jeff Anderson’s methods. This is not the only way to “do” mentor sentences in your classroom.*
