    The Day You Begin by Jacqueline Woodson is an excellent mentor text for children of all ages! If you don’t own a copy of the book, check your local library or you might even find an online read-aloud of the text with a simple Google search!

    Using mentor texts is one of the best ways to maximize your teaching time. You are able to teach multiple skills, subjects, and topics with just one book!

    WHAT IS INCLUDED IN THIS UNIT?

    • a week of plans that teach figurative language, mood, modifiers, and celebrating our differences using the book, The Day You Begin by Jacqueline Woodson (book not included)
    • detailed explicit lessons, including teacher samples
    • a week-at-a-glance plan
    • digitally converted activities in Google Slides and Forms, when applicable
    • mentor sentence lesson teaching modifiers (adjectives and adverbs)
    • reading and writing lessons incorporating mood and figurative language
    • integration of social/emotional skills to celebrate our differences
    • printables for skill practice
    • short assessments

    You will notice that the units align in best practices with my other resources, so if you are already using other components like Mentor Sentences, Better Than Basal, or Everything But The Books, they can easily be incorporated into your plans without breaking stride.

    In fact, this unit follows the exact same structure as my Everything But The Books resources!

    Check out the detailed preview to see inside this unit!

    *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.*

    🤓Using mentor texts as part of vocabulary instruction is a proven best-practice!🤩Multiple exposures to the words in context and their meanings, indirectly as well as intentionally, will help students truly understand how to use the new vocabulary.👂Hearing the word in a mentor text and then talking about it isn’t enough for students to truly “learn” the word. Students must see, hear, and use the new words in many ways in order to really understand it. 🥰All of the 150+ vocabulary units provided in the All-Access Membership do just that! Each week, there is a variety of ways students can apply and analyze the words from the mentor text, so they don't get bored doing the same activities either. 😎Check out the membership here: members.ideasbyjivey.com/all-access ...

    😍 For today's #mentortextmonday, let's look at 😍 For today's #mentortextmonday, let's look at a book you should use this week to celebrate #nationalcrayonday on Friday! 

🖍 The Crayon Man: The True Story of the Invention of Crayola Crayons by Natascha Biebow is a fabulous picture book to read when teaching text structure. 

🔎 It is not only a fantastic example of a narrative biography, but contains the elusive problem/solution text structure! (This one is always hard to find good examples of in picture books.)

    🤩Just ONE reason that I never looked back once 🤩Just ONE reason that I never looked back once I started the mentor sentence routine in my classroom:

My students were having these super deep conversations and even DEBATES about grammar and language. I’d never heard students be able to explain the functions of words so well before, or analyzing craft like actual authors! 🤯
