About Power Modeling
Modeling is one of the most powerful instructional tools a teacher has at their disposal. Teaching students how to write requires a great deal of modeling. You will learn about different ways to model writing and how to begin deconstructing mentor text for the purpose of learning the author's craft. This text includes examples of modeling, as well as guidance for writing alongside your students. Power Modeling: Teaching Kids to Write was written for both new and growing writing teachers of grades K-12. Although the examples are written primarily for upper elementary and middle school, all of the modeling techniques can be applied in some form or another throughout the grade levels. This professional learning electronic booklet (7967 words; approximately 25 8 1/2 x 11 typewritten pages) is written for the busy teacher who is looking for a quick read.
