Mentor texts are pieces of literature that you—both teacher and student—can return to and reread for many different purposes. They are texts to be studied and imitated...Mentor texts help students to take risks and be different writers tomorrow than they are today. It helps them to try out new strategies and formats. A mentor text might be a poem, a newspaper article, song lyrics, comic strips, manuals, essays, almost anything.
