Mentor Texts for STAAR
Addressing Voice, Sentence Fluency, and Word Choice.



Focus on 4th Grade and 7th Grade Expository Writing.

Important Session Information:


Every Writing Teacher knows that to be a successful writer, one needs to address the Six Traits.  In this workshop, participants will address three of the six traits: Voice, Sentence Fluency, and Word Choice. 

Participants will be using a number of mentor texts: articles, stories, essays, film monologues and yes, released STAAR essays.  We will go through the process of reading these mentor texts for each of the three traits.  We will answer the following questions:

  • How did the author's voice come through in the writing?
  • What made the sentence flow the way it did?
  • Is word choice that important?

And...

  • How can I get my students to see these traits and incorporate them into thier own writing?

Come ready to read, write, brainstorm and share!
