Lesson 5-1

Lesson: We can learn from mentors
==> I want to introduce you to one of my favorite authors. She's absolutely fantastic and very talented.
==> I'm going to read you one of her books today. It's about a little boy who wants to draw the wind. We can learn
a lot about being an author from this book. Listen carefully as I read and see what you can learn.
==> Read the book to the children and then discuss. As the discussion progresses explain that the boy had mentors,
people who were already skilled who he could learn from.
==> Writers can learn from other authors. They can become our mentors. We can't talk to them, but we can learn from
them by reading their books carefully and learning from the way they write.
==> Think about some of your favorite authors. What have you learned from other authors already?
==> We are going to be reading and exploring more of Maclachlan's books over the next couple of weeks. We will learn
to become better writers by studying great writers.
