Wendy's Writing Project Blog. Thinking more on mentor texts. July 2, 2014. 8212; uiwpwendy @ 2:59 pm. I bring her into the classroom every year. And what about Lenore Look? Jacqueline Woodson is a must. I just need to figure out how to bring her to their level. I wonder what Wonders authors to consider. I can’t access that information online, and I sent my teachers manuals packing for the summer, so I’m not sure what the possibilities are there. Ask them what they notice. Ask them what we should do.

It just wasn’t my day. I’m celebrating that I participated and that I finished. 8212;——-. First stop: Smith Hall then the bubbling fountain to write. Peace ruined by a bus stop– breaks and accelerations.
