Mechanically Inclined: Building Grammar, Usage and Style into Writer’s Workshop By Jeff Anderson This is a great book that gives very specific examples of using mentor text and books students have read to pull the grammar and usage models kids need to see how and why things work in writing. Anderson’s style of charting examples and pulling the students into the process make so much sense. Great read. Write Beside Them: Risk, Voice and Clarity in the High School Classroom By Penny Kittle Just getting started with this one and didn’t even start at the beginning. Love her writing style and most importantly, her notion that you must write to be a teacher of writing. She, too, looks at specific genre instruction and share a lot of how mentor texts fit into her high school classroom. Less is More: Teaching Literature with Short Text Grades 6-12 By Kimberly Hill Campbell This is actually a re-read for me. The author is so obviously a teacher – her style of writing is very easy to read and her lists of resources invaluable. The book is set up so you could explore only one genre if you wanted and then decide to go back for more.
