But there has long been a missing piece. Though we’ve provided plenty of places to practice, we’ve only occasionally published resources to help teach young people how to write. This school year, we’re making up for that gap with a [new series called Mentor Texts](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRfXfX9P0TgaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vY29sdW1uL2xlYXJuaW5nLW1lbnRvci10ZXh0cz9tb2R1bGU9aW5saW5lJnRlPTEmbmw9dGhlLWxlYXJuaW5nIG5ldHdvcmsmZW1jPWVkaXRfbG5fMjAxOTA5MTM_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9NTUmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9MTIzMzgmc2VnbWVudF9pZD0xNjk5MSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3JnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTJXA255dEIKACf9cHtd1AtBXlIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA). Each edition in the series will … - Spotlight an excellent piece of writing published in The New York Times, whether on the front page or from sections like Opinion, Arts, Science, Sports, Business, Food, Travel or Style. - Try to demystify for students the effective craft moves writers make, then provide exercises that invite them to try those same moves in their own work. - Show students how the writing genres they study in school can be used in real-world contexts. The first seven Mentor Texts we have published are intended to support narrative writing. We’ve created these — on telling short, memorable stories; using details to show rather than tell; crafting a narrative arc; and more — to accompany the first unit of our year-long [Writing Curriculum](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRfXfX9P0T9aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAxOS8wOC8yMi9sZWFybmluZy9mcmVlLXdyaXRpbmctY3VycmljdWx1bS13aXRoLW55dC5odG1sP21vZHVsZT1pbmxpbmUmdGU9MSZubD10aGUtbGVhcm5pbmcgbmV0d29yayZlbWM9ZWRpdF9sbl8yMDE5MDkxMz9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD01NSZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD0xMjMzOCZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTE2OTkxJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDcmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MlcDbnl0QgoAJ_1we13UC0FeUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~), which will culminate in a [Personal Narrative Essay Contest](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRfXfX9P4RAAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm55dGltZXMuY29tLzIwMTkvMDkvMDQvbGVhcm5pbmcvcGVyc29uYWwtbmFycmF0aXZlLWVzc2F5LWNvbnRlc3QtZm9yLXN0dWRlbnRzLXRlbGwtYS1zaG9ydC1zdG9yeS1hYm91dC1hLW1lYW5pbmdmdWwtbGlmZS1leHBlcmllbmNlLmh0bWw_bW9kdWxlPWlubGluZSZ0ZT0xJm5sPXRoZS1sZWFybmluZyBuZXR3b3JrJmVtYz1lZGl0X2xuXzIwMTkwOTEzP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTU1Jmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTEyMzM4JnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MTY5OTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkNyZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyVwNueXRCCgAn_XB7XdQLQV5SG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~) for students. Over the course of the school year, we’ll also be creating Mentor Text editions to support argumentative, informational and analytic writing, among other genres. Please let us know what you think.
