I use Storyworks from Scholastic. It is a monthly (sometimes bimonthly) magazine with nonfiction, short fiction, reader's theater, grammar, debate, and two text comparisons. It also has multiple opportunities in each issue for students to submit their own writing. Right now you can check it out for free. Tons of downloadable graphic organizers and practice pages that accompany the various articles and stories. They are making a conscious effort to have text and lessons that support the CCCS. I use it a lot to supplement my mentor text for strategy instruction.
I teach fifth grade. Older students can use Scope, which is a higher level , but have many of the same articles. http://storyworks.scholastic.com/home/login Maura Grade 5 ELA NJ On Sat, Oct 20, 2012 at 4:10 PM, Scholla, Jennifer < jennifer.scho...@k12.sd.us> wrote: > I'm looking for ideas to gather short stories, poems, etc. that are good > for modeling and practicing the Mosaic Strategies.
