📖 MENTOR TEXT
ALL PRODUCTS — STUDENT WORK
AS YOU READ, NOTICE:
Today's Mentor Text Is YOUR Work
1. What topic did this person care enough to write about? 2. Where do you hear their real voice most clearly? 3. What did you learn or feel that you didn't expect to?
In today's final session, YOUR pieces are the mentor texts. You are the authors. You are the experts on your own topics. Read your classmates' work as a real audience member — not a grader.

📝 FINAL REFLECTION
No wrong answers. Be real. Your teacher is reading this to understand your experience, not judge it.
1. What did you make? Describe it as if you're explaining it to someone who never saw it.
2. What surprised you — about the process OR about what you created?
3. What would you do differently if you had more time or started over?
4. Did this feel different from regular school writing? Why or why not?
5. BONUS: Would you ever consider sharing your piece with a real audience? (YES / MAYBE / NO)
You Made Something Real.
Not a school assignment that goes in a drawer.
Something you actually cared about, made the way you wanted to make it, for an audience that might actually read or hear it.
