Any thoughts? Maybe rotate the way that a few minutes are spent. One time allow children to find a book, another time have students sing a favorite song once more, and another time count something fun such as how many noses there are in the group. That way, choosing a book gets categorized as one of many ways that people choose to have fun. Do you really feel that schools force children to read? Schools also force children to go outside at recess time to play. I have a hard time viewing this as a problem.

Re: [MOSAIC] Mosaic Digest, Vol 34, Issue 6
Hi Jorge! ELA is fun. But the fun is in finding the right titles. Kids pick up on your enthusiam for a story so start with something you like or related to as a kid and go from there. Check out a list of Recommended Books from Amazon or Barnes Noble, or even better your school probably has a closet of novels catching dust. If you are teaching elementary, use picture books for read-alouds. You can teach your grammar, spelling and language lessons as offshoots from the books. And remember you can find books, novels or picture books that can relate to any subject. So don't think of it as ELA, think of it as a Social Studies.

[MOSAIC] Guided reading
I currently teach kindergarten. I am wondering what independent lessons would benefit my students when I am working with another group. So far I have students copy the morning message ( filling in the missing letters); make weekly picture dictionaries (using a current theme we are studying); glue poems in order and underline any sight words or rhyming words; listen to books on tape; and complete a word family packet. What else could I have them do that could work for the variety of levels in my classroom?? ___ 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] Mosaic Digest, Vol 34, Issue 8 pre K learning
Never underestimate the power of play and imagination. I agree with the previous suggestions, dance , sing, read to them, act, all of those things. Those experiences set the stage for literacy. And yes, the nursery rhymes.. I can't tell you how many students I have taught in later years who have never heard or remembered one. Perhaps there is some correlation to struggling readers.

[MOSAIC] weekly strategy study
What do you mean when you say stuff that goes with the lessons? I mean - not too many graphic organizers, three column note forms, note taking guides, etc. I realize they are important but it can get to a point where they take over and the real teaching and learning gets lost. I guess it makes me think of make and take workshops and I just hate those because they are not really about teaching - they are about stuff! ___ 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] Strategy Instruction
Check out Wisconsin Public Television's program INTO THE BOOK. The program has a student part and a teacher part. My middle school teachers and I have viewed the teacher part even though the classes and students in the program are elementary grades. We still learned about strategy instruction and my teaches were amazed that first graders can infer.

Re: [MOSAIC] Teaching Literacy in Older Grades question
Hi Heather, The draft is just a portion. That explains the abrupt end. Little Bear and Frog and Toad: I'd scroll both books, chapter by chapter. In other words, instead of making a single long scroll of Little Bear, I'd make four scrolls -- one for each story. Same idea for Frog and Toad. Both of these books offer lots of opportunity to talk about sequence and structure. Of course, you can talk about these things in the book, too, but the scroll makes it all so much more explicit. It is much easier for the kids to really engage and think when they can see an entire story -- and all four stories -- right in front of them. Little Bear: Third story, Little Bear Goes to the Moon, can be divided into two parts (the second part starts when he climbs to the top of the hill). Instead of telling your students this, you might ask them. Let them discover the structure. Let them figure it out. Having the scroll right there will make it much easier, and helps them understand that they can answer questions by referring back to the story and thinking about what they see. Fourth story, Little Bear's Wish, can also be divided into two parts (the second part starts when his mother tells him a story). Again, ask your students to figure out the structure. Also, notice that in the fourth story of Little Bear, in recounting what happens in the first three stories, the mother tells them out of sequence -- first, third, second. It's a small point, but see if your kids catch that. If not, ask them to look back at the other stories. Make them think about it! With the scrolls in front of them, they CAN figure it out. And then there's the larger theme: happiness. You can talk with your kids about the different kinds of wants/desires/wishes, and differences between what we might want, and what is. This is a conversation that your students will be able to have with the scrolls in front of them to prompt their thinking. Days with Frog and Toad: Similar opportunites: sequence, structure. The first story, Tomorrow, lists the taks that Toad dreads, and then he does them in the order that he first listed them. Ask your students if he did them in the order that he first thought of them. Ask them how they can confirm their answer. The second story, The Kite, is another good opportunity to talk about story structure. It begins with a 2-page set-up (problem), then the main body in which the problem is addressed (divides into four parts -- running + waving + jumping + shouting), then winds up with the resolution. You can ask your kids to divide the main body into sections (how many? where are they? show me!). The third story, Shivers, starts with a 2-page set-up, scary story in the middle, then 1 page resolution (safe back home). The fourth story, The Hat, starts with a 2-page set-up. In the main body there is a small sequence (tripped, bumped, fell) that is repeated later when they take their second walk. The end is a 1-page conclusion. The fifth story, Alone, starts with a 1-page set-up (the note) which sets up a conflict that Toad sets out to resolve by making lunch, waving his jacket, riding on the turtle's back, and falling off the turtle. Frog pulls him out, and then we learn that the conflict didn't exist (Frog was happy all along). Ends with a 1-page summary. The point here is that these are repeating structures that your kids can find on the scroll. Lots to discuss, too, about what happens in the story and how the characters feel. The scrolls make all this so much more accessible to young minds. I hope that this is helpful. Don't hesitate to call or email if you have further questions.

Re: [MOSAIC] Textmapping for beginners
Getting permission is the safest route. Another approach is to buy two copies of the book, cut the spines off, and then make your scroll from that. That's what I do most of the time. It's faster and easier, and the quality is better than you get with photocopies. And then there's the copying route. Infringement or Fair Use? I can't say for sure where the line is on this issue. There may never be one. Here's my stab at it: http://www.textmapping.org/fairUse.html I am a bit rushed today and so must cut this short. But I have irons in the fire on this. More another time.
