I'm throwing another resource out into the #OntEd Twittersphere. Here's a collection of #MentorTexts that we're developing for use with students in #destreamed ENG1D courses. I'd love to see a "take-one, leave-one" approach here; so please add liberally. padlet.com/himsjaso1809/M…

Please highlight a text that you've added that you're especially pleased with. To start this (even though it feels like picking a favourite child) I'll point out @ivancoyote's "We all need a safe place to pee." It's just a fantastic talk.

I'll credit the shoulders we're standing on here, too. We grabbed a number of stories from this great thread started by @heymrsbond.

In addition, there's fantastic content, particularly in short stories and personal narratives, in this resource so generously shared by @pernilleripp.

Last, here's a great Padlet that was started by @pennykittle and @KellyGToGo that seeded a lot of our work with essays.

In short, we've pulled from all of these sources, but also supplemented the material with an eye toward "Canadian-izing" it, particularly (but not exclusively) with texts from @CBC and @thewalrus.

We hope it helps support both you and the students in your classroom.
