Shirley, I read a great book this summer that is about using the MOT Comprehension Strategies with Math. It is called titled Comprehending Math by Arthur Hyde, with Ellin Keene (co-author of MOT) writing the introduction. While it's not about Math Journals, it is very good.

I am currently working on an idea from the " Mosiac of Thought" text to integrate a reading comprehension strategy into my Mathematic's course. I work with middle school age students and I am complating incorporating journals into the class. What I am courious about is whether anyone has attempted this strategy in a math clas and whether the strategy works or not. Also, is no one has attempeted this strategy, I was wondering whether you believe this is a good idea for incorportaing reading comprehension into the math class based on other experiences you may have had. If for some reason you believe this is not a good strategy would you please take the time to suggest one you believe would better suit this class environment.
