Many of you have indicated an interest in having a weekly strategy discussion this summer based on comprehension strategies outlined in Strategies That Work. In order to make this discussion as productive as possible we have worked to create a schedule of topics. By sticking to this schedule hopefully we will be able to take advantage of the many experiences of the members of our online community in an organized and easy to follow manner. At the beginning of each week I will post the weekly topic along with some questions that I have or resources that I have found to be helpful just to get the ball rolling a bit. I will be out of the country from July 9-26 so the weekly prompts during that time will come from Joy or one of our other members. There are some netiquette procedures to follow that will help to make this easier for all of our members. If you are responding to a post, do not include everything in the previous post. Cut and paste the portion you are responding to then follow with your response. You may also need to change the subject line if you are changing the topic in some way. Please also include your grade level or position with your post. Remember, not everyone on this list may be interested in following these discussions and we want to make it easy for everyone to either follow or discard as they wish. If you have a comment or question that isn¹t for the whole group, email that person individually to avoid bogging down list discussions. I know many of you have some great files to share, Keith will post will information on how to do this so that everyone can access them easily. Please don¹t hold back from lack of experience, we can all learn from each other and the questions that you have may be the same ones others would like to know. I am really looking forward to these discussions and using this information in my classroom next year!!
