[MOSAIC] Summative suggestions?
Just wondering if anyone knows of any good sites to find, dare I say the word, summatives, for a point of view unit and/or an open-ended/criticial thinking Learning Cycle? We do the later a lot during the course of a day but now I need to produce something concrete from my Grade Ones. Oh how I wish I could just give my tape recordings of their oral answers to my board for data!

[MOSAIC] summative
Julia, The EO is English only and ELL is English Language Learners. :) I know, sometimes I don't have a clue what the acronym is people are using. I love your idea! A quiet rebellion. I have a CAFE chart (similar to the Sisters from Daily 5) on the wall and the children refer to it all the time when reading. It's not on any testing per se, but the comprehension and word analysis strategies are exactly what the kids need. I know what best practices are and I feel that I'm being dragged away from them. It confuses me when I know what is best for the kids, yet I'm pulled by our PLC group and the district. I feel that kids at my school need 3rd grade, 3rd 1/2 grade, 4th grade, etc. They need time to grow in the English language. We have a title 1 school in our district that has received numerous awards for achievement with ELL students, yet when we receive these same students they are no longer proficient...why would that be? Happy Holidays to all. I have 3 weeks off and I plan to enjoy it!

Re: [MOSAIC] summative
Dear Brenda, Would it be possible, if you have a second over the holiday, to direct to where I might take a peek at the CAFÉ chart? What a great idea! Thanks!
