Hey Jennifer, Have a child stand at the front of the room. While the rest of the class has their eyes closed, change something about the child. (put on a hat, remove a sweater, turn around backwards). Then have the others open their eyes and tell what is different. They didn't actually SEE what happened, but they know what the child looked like before and looked like after, so they can tell what happened between. Have them visualize what that looked like (child putting on hat, etc.). That is what they are doing in the book..thinking about the "between", what happened that they couldn't "see".

Hello everyone! Those of you that have been on the list a while remember that I have been doing comprehension lessons in the primary grades using a lesson study process. I plan a lesson with two colleagues, we take turns teaching it and we watch each other teach it then meet to revise the lesson to improve it. I am about to teach the visualizing lesson which I think is from the second edition of STW where kids visualize what is happening between each picture in the Carl books. One of the great things about the lesson study protocol we are using is that we are asked to think about where our kids might have difficulty with the lesson. What I see happening continually is that the kids who have trouble visualizing see what is in the second picture rather than what is in between the first and second picture. Has anyone else noticed this? What do you all do about it other than model, model, model? Thanks in advance for your help, Jennifer **************Start the year off right.
