my son in 4th grade has to write a poem using stanza form and must use his mentor text. What is mentor text?

Answer 1

I'd never heard the word either. However, a Google search taught me that a mentor text is a book chosen by the teacher to help students. I would assume that your son has a book that he has been reading. Perhaps he's to write a poem about that book??
