Re: [MOSAIC] Lifebooks
http://www.nwp.org/cs/public/print/resource/2577 is a good beginning place for you to look. At the fourth grade level my lifebook became a combination of Caulkins and Fletcher's ideas...it was incredibly powerful and produced a very different type of writer, or rather students writing authentically. Would be interested to hear how others have worked with the concept. --- On Wed, 27/8/08, Lyndsay Buehler [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: From: Lyndsay Buehler [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [MOSAIC] Lifebooks To: Mosaic: A Reading Comprehension Strategies Email Group mosaic@literacyworkshop.org Received: Wednesday, 27 August, 2008, 9:50 PM Briana, I know this only adds a question to your question, but what are Lifebooks?

Re: [MOSAIC] Lifebooks
I have used them in third, but the teacher that shared the idea with me was a second grade teacher. They are fantastic. I did have my students write in them daily for about 15 min. I tied my language and writing into them as well. Looking for nouns in their writing, editing proof marks, etc. When you introduce them read Amelia's Journal by Marissa Moss. It's a little girl's life book. It's fantastic!!! There are several books in the series and the kids are so excited to start their own after looking through and reading hers.

Re: [MOSAIC] Lifebooks
I've been doing this with Amelia's notebook with third graders for probably 8 years or more. We have almost a class set of the books and we read them together--I watch the sales at the beginning of school and get marbled notebooks for everyone before school starts. It's a great way to start off writing workshop and the kids write in them all year--or fill them up and need another one. I liked the museum idea mentioned in the link. My whole third grade team uses Amelia's notebook so I will share this link with them.

Re: [MOSAIC] Lifebooks
Laura, have you tried lit groups with kids each reading a different Amelia book? I haven't seen any of these books but ordered 6 today from amazon. I'm interested in the idea of a mixed-book lit circle in third and fourth grades.

Re: [MOSAIC] Lifebooks
I have some of the others, but Amelia gets older in each one and I wasn't sure they were as appropriate for third, although I do have some readers who read them. I have tried lit groups with them as I do it so before we are getting into those. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Beverlee Paul Sent: Wednesday, August 27, 2008 7:36 PM To: Mosaic: A Reading Comprehension Strategies Email Group Subject: Re: [MOSAIC] Lifebooks Laura, have you tried lit groups with kids each reading a different Amelia book?
