All our third grade classes have been working with mentor texts (or sentences) to help our students become better writers and communicators. 
Students study a sentence carefully selected from our Anchor Texts. They idenitfy the nouns, verbs, adjectives, and so on.
Then they "play" with the mentor text by manipulating it to make new sentences.
Students then write their own imitation of the mentor text by using a frame.
Students are giving a pre and post assessment to demonstrate what they have learned about their writing.
