LIVE WEBINARS:
Planning a Digital Writing Unit for Online Instruction using Mentor Texts


Presented By Allison Marchetti and Rebekah O'Dell
Three, 75-minute webinar sessions from 7:00pm to 8:15pm Eastern Time (ET). Please note that this webinar series is scheduled for Eastern Time (ET). If you are in a different time zone, please plan your schedule accordingly. In Writing With Mentors and Beyond Literary Analysis, Allison and Rebekah share that mentor texts "make anything possible." That's a tall order. So how do you get there? How do you get from the hopes and dreams you have for your students, to ideas for writing studies, to intentionally-planned units full of mentor texts to guide and inspire students? In this webinar series, Allison and Rebekah will show participants how to find mentor texts that meet the needs of all their students—when they are learning from home and when they are learning in person! Participants will build a mentor text cluster, study mentor texts for writing lessons, and plan lessons to teach their students concrete writing skills—from idea development to structuring their writing to grammar lessons. Additionally, participants will explore and practice digital tools to facilitate this learning remotely. Participants will leave this webinar series with plentiful resources: multiple writing units grounded in mentor texts and created with their particular students in mind. And, best of all, they will leave having honed the skills to do this on their own in the future! SESSION 1 SESSION 2 SESSION 3 Allison Marchetti and Rebekah O'Dell believe in the power of choice, authenticity, and students' voices in the reading and writing classroom. Traveling the country to work with teachers and students provides constant inspiration as they help educators do the hard and tranformative work of teaching real writing. In both public and independent schools, they have taught middle and high school students at all levels—from inclusion to AP and IB classes. They are the founders of the popular blog MovingWriters.org and the authors of Writing With Mentors and Beyond Literary Analysis. Classroom teachers of grades K-12, literacy coaches, reading and language arts specialists, curriculum coordinators and administrators. While our examples will use texts appropriate for middle and high school, the procedure for planning using mentor texts works for K-5 teachers, too. The cost of this three-part webinar series is $95.00 per person. Tuition also includes access to the webinar series recording for 60 days.
