Re: [MOSAIC] [mosaic] advanced reading comprehension
I think that the previous posts are correct- if you don't make it an issue, usually the kids don't either. I talk extensively with my first graders about how some books are a good fit for one person but not another. There is a good lesson using shoes in The Daily Five book. The basic metaphor is that even though two students might be wearing running shoes they don't fit the other person, just like similar books might be too hard or too easy for some people. The community of learners is also wonderful. We do a lesson with our gifted/talented teacher about multiple intelligences. It is nice for the kids to see that even though they might not be a "word smart" fast reader, they might be "number smart" or "people smart." It shows them that they all have different gifts. I also have the kids help each other when I think it is appropriate.

[MOSAIC] monitoring comprehension
Hi Everyone! I plan on spending the first couple of weeks with my sixth graders exploring monitoring comprehension. (I will need to do this with fiction due to my pacing guide.) Does anyone have a terrific first day lesson plan that would work with 6th graders to introduce the topic? I would love to use a picture book and model the inner thinking. Thanks in advance for any help. I'm so stressed out right now, I can't think myself. :) Kim ___ Mosaic mailing list Mosaic@literacyworkshop.org To unsubscribe or modify your membership please go to http://literacyworkshop.org/mailman/options/mosaic_literacyworkshop.org.

Re: [MOSAIC] monitoring comprehension
Have you checked out the book Strategies That Work? There is a (new, I think) chapter on Monitoring Comprehension. All the other strategy chapters have lessons--that one may, also.

[MOSAIC] Metacognition
Good evening all. I have to present at a district level staff development workshop for second grade teachers next week. I need to spend 10-15 minutes on how to use metacognition activities during the first weeks of school before moving into schema lessons. Most of these teachers will want activities to take back to their classrooms. Any suggestions? Thanks so much!

Re: [MOSAIC] Metacognition
Kendra, If you have access to the Comprehension Toolkit the very first lesson is great! It uses the book How Many Days to America by Eve Bunting. I just taught that lesson this week to my 6th graders.
