Doctor DeSoto by William Steig Activities in Digital and PDF, Writing Lesson

Doctor DeSoto by William Steig is an excellent choice as a mentor text for both reading AND writing. It has a clever plot, great examples of voice and word choice, and fabulous illustrations. This unit is intended to be used for comprehension and writing.

HOW TO USE THE DOCTOR DESOTO UNIT:

Students analyze the text through outlining the plot events, working with vocabulary, making inferences using text examples, and by applying their learning in their own writing piece. You can get a great feel for the unit using the preview supplied. I suggest using it with mentor text lessons, book clubs, or paired reading.
