This page describes the Mentor Text (squared) project that was a collaborative project between the University of San Diego Teaching Studio with Drs. Spencer, Alexandrowicz, & Molina and Miramar Community College with Professor Mark Manasse. In this page, we include a summary of the project and additional resources that you are welcome to download and use in your own classrooms.
Project Summary
In this project, we looked at ways in which we could support struggling English as a Second Language (ESL) readers through leveled, culturally responsive texts in a collegiate intermediate English proficiency level reading course in preparing them for reading requirements in credit-bearing college level courses. We share a unique approach to mentor texts, employing them both as exemplars for developing student reading, and also to support student connections to and understanding of texts as a means for developing voice.
