Subject: [MOSAIC] Mystery Recommendations

Hello!
I would like to infuse a new genre into my LA curriculum. . . . does anyone 
have any ideas for a Grade 8 + mystery title (preferably an Edgar award book) 
to excite my student's?  I have researched Vicki Grant's, Quid Pro Quo, and 
John Green's, Paper Towns.  Has anyone read them?  Recommendations?
Many, many thanks,
Susan ThornfeldtMahoney Middle Schoolsouth Portland, ME

Re: [MOSAIC] Comprehension strategies assessment

2011-11-02 Thread Susan Henry
Ellin Keene has a resource called Assessing Comprehension Thinking Strategies 
that is very good.  I am also looking at how using the Daily 5 / Cafe Menu can 
be reported to parents as an insert in a report card.  Does anyone have an 
suggestions or resources they could direct me to?

Thanks,

Subject: [MOSAIC] Comprehension strategies assessment

Do you give your students a summative assessment to test their knowledge and 
application of the comprehension strategies? I have been working with my 
students on metacognition, making connection, visualizing and asking questions. 
 I have been asked by the administrators to create a test that would evaluate 
what students have been learning in my class.  Does anyone has experience 
making this kind of assessment? Thank you so much. I really need help.

Someone mentioned finding the House files on the tools page.  I looked and
