3 2 nd Grade Mentor Texts Unit #5 Informational Writing: Personal Expertise Criteria: Guiding questions from A Quick Guide to Teaching Informational Writing, Grade 2 by Marika Paez Wiesen (2012, Heinemann). A. Does the topic of at least one of my mentor texts show how a writer can teach about a topic of personal expertise? (e.g., A Day at Gymnastics, or Baseball) B. Does the book use an I teaching voice rather than an authoritative, third-person teaching voice? C. Is the text organized in a straightforward way, as in topics and subtopics? D. Is the syntax of the text simple enough that a child might listen to the text and think, I could write a text like that? Structural features: title, table of contents, lead, headings/subheadings, conclusion, text features Text features includes a number of items: bold print, chart, caption, diagrams/illustrations, pictures, labels, etc. Variety of ways information is included: facts, stories, domain-specific vocabulary, exclamations & wonderings, phrases specific to nonfiction text, variety of page layouts, etc. For more information, see Resources and Materials page in lesson plan packet, individual lessons and mentor text analysis chart in resource materials packet This is a suggested list to consider when collecting possible mentor text.
