For our groups mentor text we searched on the computers for a while until a thought came to mind, Why not a book from Mark Twain? So we went up and down the Atkins Library looking for a book by Mark Twain that was 3 floors above us in a completely different area.
We managed to find The Adventures of Tom Sawyer upstairs. This was chosen as our mentor text because it was a unique approach to traditional writing styles. It was written the way it was verbally spoken rather than corrected and cleared up for proper grammars sake.
After we finished writing we pondered our thoughts, why did we do this? What was the purpose of documenting our search for a book? I came up with an answer. Sometimes the trip to your destination is the fun part.
