Michelle, 
Thank you so much for the chart!  I think it will be extremely helpful.  I have 
a question about the poster machine you mentioned.  Does it take a normal size 
piece of paper and turn it into poster size?  What brand is this and how do I 
find one?  I would be interested in getting one of these, or getting my school 
to get one.

[MOSAIC] new addition to the TOOLS page

2007-04-28 Thread ginger/rob
I have just added the following to our TEACHING TOOLS page at:
www.readinglady.com/mosaic/tools/tools.htm

At the very bottom under the Other category:
1.  What kind of a reader are you? Chart from Michelle

This is from the email Michelle sent me:
After reading the Strategies that Work book, I took the terms for the 
different kinds of readers from page 17, tweaked the descriptions to kid 
friendly terms, added graphics that the kids could understand and made a 
chart that we then ran through our poster machine for use in our classrooms. 
I found the original source of the terms, author and Harvard professor David 
Perkins, and got permission from him to use the terms and adapt them to meet 
the needs of my classroom.   I have found the chart and the kid-friendly 
terms and visuals to be useful for not only reading strategy instruction, 
but also in reading and thinking within the content areas.

Send any files you would like to share to me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] and 
I will upload them and then announce them to the group.
