Authors as Mentors!

http://youtu.be/nRzdGCC9wGo

During Writers Workshop we are working on our Authors as Mentors Unit of Study. We have read many books written by Angela Johnson, Mo Willems and Robert Munsch. We noticed these authors like to craft some words in their books, have repetitive lines, use speech bubbles, ellipses, and onomatopoeias! We are now challenging ourselves to write like these authors! I am amazed with how many children have included ellipses and bold print words in their personal narratives!

Enjoy listening to Robert Munsch's story, Stephanie's Ponytail!
