Today in class, we used Sy Montgomery's book about Temple Grandin (Temple Grandin: How the Girl Who Loved Cows Embraced Autism and Changed the World) as a mentor text. After reading chapter 5, the students shared highlighted sentences they found interesting. Each student offered specific reasons for their choice such as imagery, word choice, sentence structure and punctuation.
For Friday's class, the students need to write their own, original sentence inspired by their highlighted sentence or another sentence from the mentor text.
