Lori,
I understand the objective but just would like a different approach. I
am required to teach from a basal and have few outside resources
available through the district.

First thoughts--objective #2 seems broadly written to address multiple
genres
but all the points to follow revolved around fiction. That doesn't seem
to be
taking you where you what to go.

Subject: [MOSAIC] help with remediation of reading objectives
This may not be the best place to ask, but I thought I would try...
I teach fourth grade, this is my first year there, after moving up
from
3rd. I am also grade level chair and have just myself and two brand
new teachers on my grade level.
I have been asked to participate in an intervention block for my
grade
level.test scores aren't where we would like them to be and we need
to
make AYP this year or we will have more sanctions.
Here are the objectives that my students are low on...Any
advice/resources on how to reteach these would be greatly appreciated.
1. Identify key words and discover their meanings and relationship
through a variety of strategies. (I take this to be context clues,
although the language of the objective is not clear, in my opinion).
2. Respond to fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and drama using
interpretive, critical and evaluative processes by:
a. Analyzing the impact of authors' word choice and context
b. Examining the reasons for characters' action
c. Identifying and examining characters' motives
d Considering a situation or problem from different
characters'
point of view
e. Analyzing differences among genres
f. Making inferences and drawing conclusions about
characters,
events, and themes
3. Analyze characters, events, and plots within and between
selections
and cite supporting evidence.
4. Analyze and integrate information from one or more sources to
expand understanding of text including graphs, charts and/or maps.
I would greatly appreciate any help that could be provided. The
powers
that be want the teachers to plan for this remediation themselves.
However...I am trying to understand how that is wise, since they
planned the first time and the students didn't master the skill.
Rosie
