I so appreciate this post. I've used textmapping with fiction and nonfiction as reading strategy instruction, but have not used it as a means to improve writing per se. My class is in the middle of writing personal narratives and they're coming along pretty well; however I have about 5 kids that are reluctant to "stretch" their writing. I can't wait to combine these strategies this coming week! Thanks for the ideas...now I'm off to plan my approach.
