"Mediocre writers borrow. Great writers steal." --T.S. Eliot Writing thieves read widely, dive deeply into texts, and steal bits and pieces from great texts as models for their own writing. Author Ruth Culham admits to being a writing thief--and she wants you and your students to become writing thieves, too! In The Writing Thief: Using Mentor Texts to Teach the Craft of Writing, Culham demonstrates a major part of good writing instruction is finding the right mentor texts to share with students. Within this book, you'll discover more than 90 excellent mentor texts, along with straight-forward activities that incorporate the traits of writing across informational, narrative, and argument modes. Chapters also include brief essays from beloved writing thieves such as Lester Laminack, David L. Harrison, Lisa Yee, Nicola Davies, Ralph Fletcher, Toni Buzzeo, Lola Schaefer, and Kate Messner, detailing the reading that has influenced their own writing. Culham's renowned easy-going style and friendly tone make this a book you'll turn to again and again as you coach your students to reach their full potential as deep, thoughtful readers and great writers. There's a writing thief in each of us when we learn how to read with a writer's eye!

Because of their length, sterling language and myriad topics, picture books serve as excellent models for mentoring young writers as they learn the writer's craft.

You and your students will be amazed at the results! Help your students avoid the common pitfalls of implausible events, too much dialogue, boring beginnings (and much more) as they craft their fiction stories. Help them create poems with vivid imagery and figurative language, or learn how to engage them in exciting, meaningful personal narrative writing. In addition, educators will appreciate the recommended picture books lists, the examples of how to use specific books as springboards for student writing, and the shared writing samples included throughout this book.

In their first edition of Mentor Texts, authors Lynne Dorfman and Rose Cappelli helped teachers across the country make the most of high-quality children's literature in their writing instruction. In Mentor Texts: Teaching Writing Through Children's Literature, K-6, 2nd Edition the authors continue to show teachers how to help students become confident, accomplished writers by using literature as their foundation. The second edition includes brand-new "Your Turn Lessons," built around the gradual release of responsibility model, offering suggestions for demonstrations and shared or guided writing. Reflection is emphasized as a necessary component to understanding why mentor authors chose certain strategies, literary devices, sentence structures, and words. Dorfman and Cappelli offer new children's book titles in each chapter and in a carefully curated and annotated Treasure Chest. At the end of each chapter a "Think About It--Talk About It--Write About It" section invites reflection and conversation with colleagues. The book is organized around the characteristics of good writing--focus, content, organization, style, and conventions. The authors write in a friendly and conversational style, employing numerous anecdotes to help teachers visualize the process, and offer strategies that can be immediately implemented in the classroom. This practical resource demonstrates the power of learning to read like writers.

"Research questions: My experiences in last year's writing workshop lead me to desire confirmation of the positive effects of the use of mentor texts and of studying writer's craft on student writing. I investigated the following questions: 1. Does the use of professionally written mentor texts in the writer's workshop improve [junior high school] student ability to meet state writing standards as measured by the district 6+1 traits of writing rubric and the teacher-developed writer's craft rubric? 2. Does the use of professionally written mentor texts in the writer's workshop improve [junior high school] student understanding of the characteristics of the narrative mode and structure of writing and how to use writer's craft to implement those characteristics in their personal narratives? 3. Does the use of professionally written mentor texts in the writer's workshop increase [junior high school] student's confidence in their writing ability and perception of their self as a true writer?"--Leaves 14-15.
