analyze characters, themes, point of view, and more. In this new

questioning, inferring, and author's purpose; Guiding readers to
look at themes and write summaries; Showing students how to
recognize structural elements of literature; Teaching the craft of
writing and vocabulary development; and Helping students analyse
characters and character development. Throughout this highly

organizers that can be easily adapted for classroom use. A list of
suggested mentor texts is also available as a free eResource from
our website, www.routledge.com/books/details/9781138856172.
