Critical Components

● Be explicit in teaching and studying the writing modality based on mentor texts ● Focus on writing for a real audience and authentic purpose ● Show how writers are transferring a similar structure from one writing skill to a new genre or format ● Engage the writing process through to production ● Look for ways to use modes of writing that go beyond substitution, but instead allow for augmentation, modifcation, and/or redefnition.

Experiment with different modes of writing, beyond traditional writing formats, for real audiences and purposes.
