It's been said that good writers borrow but great writers steal.
Writing thieves read widely, dive deeply into texts, and steal bits
and pieces from great texts as models for their own writing. Ruth
Culham admits to being a writing thief—and she wants you and your
students to become writing thieves, too. A major part of good
writing instruction is finding the right mentor texts to share with
students. Within this book, you’ll discover more than ninety
excellent mentor texts, along with straightforward activities that
incorporate the traits of writing across informational, narrative,
and argument modes. Chapters also include brief essays from beloved
writing thieves such as Lester Laminack, David L. Harrison, Lisa
Yee, Nicola Davies, Ralph Fletcher, Toni Buzzeo, Lola Schaefer, and
Kate Messner, detailing the reading that has influenced their own
writing. Ruth's renowned easy-going style and friendly tone make
this a book you'll turn to again and again as you guide your
students to reach their full potential as deep, thoughtful readers
and writers. There's a writing thief in each of us when we learn
how to read with a writer's eye!
