I'...Greg is right Tara, you are the mentor text! I've never considered how our own writing could serve as a model for students. Sometimes I think they teach us more about risk, bravery, and vulnerability than we teach them. Thanks for reminding me about the power of the reading and writing connection. Perhaps we will write a little poetry next week!Thinking Made Visiblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10087527562464268919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7110934330385744557.post-11482801415772084542015-03-06T18:14:13.483-08:002015-03-06T18:14:13.483-08:00Tara Reed,

You are the mentor text!<br /><br />You can model the courage, vulnerability, and authenticity that writing requires, better than anyone your students will encounter.
