Mentor Text Writing Lessons: Short Stories
designing skill-based writing lessons inspired by short story excerpts

WritingFix is constantly growing. It's what we do!

Welcome to a new page that we have begun developing at WritingFix. We expect this page to up and functioning in the near future.

How is this new resource page being built? For the 2008-2009 school year, the Northern Nevada Writing Project is sponsoring a teacher inquiry group at a Northern Nevada middle school. This group is using the book Less is More: Teaching Literature With Short Texts, Grades 6-12 by Kimberly Hill Campbell to inspire them to collaborate and create skill-based writing lessons from short stories they love to teach.

As the group finishes creating lessons, they will be posted here for others to examine and use.

We hope by posting this page early, we will inspire other teacher groups to look at the same book and think about using short stories differently this year. We're glad you're interested enough to check in with this brand new project at WritingFix. Check back with us to watch this page grow.

Here we will be posting lessons inspired by short stories as they are created by our teacher inquiry group.
