Re: [MOSAIC] literacy mapping
We are having these conversations at our school too. But the principal thinks that we should have the strategies grade assigned. A focus at each grade level but I always thought that would be somewhat like dividing up the six traits in writing. Comments? --- On Mon, 22/9/08, Gaynor, Yvonnee R.

Re: [MOSAIC] literacy mapping
In the book Strategies That Work, there is a good outline/map of grade level and amount of time that should be spent on each strategy...it goes w/o saying that you can't put a set time depending on your students' background, but we like this outline @ our school On Mon, Sep 22, 2008 at 7:47 AM, suzie herb [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: We are having these conversations at our school too.

Re: [MOSAIC] literacy mapping
I am of the mind that all the strategies meshed together holistically create good reading, and separating the strategies is what linear thinkers would do. If I were told to only teach this or that strategy at a certain grade level, I'd ignore the directions. But that's just me.

Re: [MOSAIC] literacy mapping
I agree with Renee. I've always taught all the strategies in one year to whatever grade level it is I'm teaching (I even use the same books most years!), kids have different ideas and thought processes throughout school. Although now that I've got my hands on Text Savvy I might be changing things up again. Besides, can you imagine an entire year just working on predictions?

[MOSAIC] organization
I was wondering, does anyone have a good ORGANIZED way of storing your student's work? I just feel my classroom getting more and more cluttered with their finished products.

We start with predicting, go on to summarizing, connecting, questioning, inferring, imaging, and spend the last 3 months on synthesizing. I believe the K-1 building doesn't cover all these strategies, but I'm sure they at least cover predicting connecting in depth.

As one of the other reviewers, I want to second Elisa's comments. 40 years ago I started using comics to teach students how to write book reports and it segued into using the images as a aid to comprehension. How I wish I had this book back then. It is so user friendly, so easy to read, and well supported with illustrations from Mr. Thompson's classroom. As a coach I have been able to use examples from the book to help not only my ELD teachers, but regular classroom teachers. This ais a very practical book.
