I've done a workshop like this with parents using Grandfather's Twilight ( almost a wordless book) and the questions and inferences, and connections were wonderful. The parents worked with the kids and it was so easy to do... all kids could access the text and the exchange between and among families was very insightful... lots of positive response... we recorded all our thoughts on paper tablecloths and later displayed them as :roundtable discussions... we used string to draw parallels ...even the display created a buzz as we left pencils and markers attached to the bulletin board which became an interactive site for the school community....

We've used Chris Van Allsburg's The Stranger before--worked well.? Actually had the parents record their thinking and questions on sticky notes.

I wanted to model strategies - think alouds, questioning, author's purpose, etc.? Any suggestions or anything you have used in the past??
