Re: [MOSAIC] poems for comprehension strategies
This referenced lesson is wonderful! We have done a heart lesson for our writer's notebook for several years but this one is more complete, and seems like a much better one. I am taking a copy of it to our District meeting for 3rd grade teachers tomorrow; the focus is to discuss how we will approach writing. This is a great start. Thanks.

I saw the book cover and realized it was her lesson. Cheryl 'Teaching is a work of heart.'

Re: [MOSAIC] poems for comprehension strategies
Great idea Sally! That's how a group of teachers and myself read Mosaic of Thought in my school. Read a chapter or 2, try out a strategy and meet back to start a discussion. My suggestion is set the first date one month from now since many are ordering the book online. Way to gothanks for initiating this.

Re: [MOSAIC] poems for comprehension strategies
Here are a couple of ideas. Welcome your feedback and I can revise! 1. When to start. Thinking the last weekend of January. Gives us enough time to order and read a chapter or two??? Thinking weekends might be a good time to begin each new section discussion as our weeks are pretty filled with working - right??? 2. Pacing. Have to get my book out to see how it is divided but probably a chapter a week or so??? That's roughly. Or is that too fast a pace? 3. I'd be glad to start each week's discussion with my own connections and/or questions. And everyone can just join in. Or we can take turns with who wants to take the lead for different chapters. (I would love that!) let me know if you'd like to do this and we can set up a schedule. 4. My guess is that we'll be using the STRATEGIES as we read to understand. And also think about how using the ideas with kids will tap the strategies. 5. Speaking of strategies, I suggest we might begin by each of us tapping our own SCHEMA of poetry. Why not start by remembering our own early and schooling experience of poetry. The next chapter of that could be our own experiences of poetry since our schooling - has it been the same or different? Between these two chunks of schema, we will have reflected on our experiences and assumptions about poetry as we explore Georgia's book. 6. It would be great if someone would be the keeper of... poems mentioned or recommended by Georgia or any of us that we might want to use in our classrooms. (just gathering them as they come up naturally and keep as a simple list in a folder that we can put on the resources page of this list at the end of our discussion?)

Re: [MOSAIC] poems for comprehension strategies
I do something similar with my 4th graders. I make copies of several poems that I know my students have the background knowledge to relate to. They can choose any poem they like and draw their mental images about that poem. Since, many students choose the same poem, we use this opportunity to talk about how their unique experiences and background knowledge led them to draw different pictures of the same poem. I like to post their pictures along with the poem in the hall for people to read and look at.

Re: [MOSAIC] poems for comprehension strategies
One of my favorite strategies - which complements or overlaps with this idea - is to do poetry dialogues. Got the original idea from Practical Ideas for Teaching Writing fromt he California UC Irvine Writing Project. I read a poem aloud. Kids know they will be talking to the poem as I read it so they are prepared with their pencils and paper. They need to skip spaces between responses to each line of the poem. I read a line aloud. Their job is to respond with whatever their brain is thinking!!! They can ask a question. They can respond with a word or words that pop into their mind. They can comment. They can make a connection. They can ask a question. They can say I sure do hate poetry. Everything counts. It is their brains response to the poem. After they are done, I ask for a volunteer to have an out loud dialogue with the poem. I read a line and he/she reads the response. We do the whole poem that way. We laugh or ooh and ahhh or whatever. Then I ask for others. Eventually I ask if anyone wants to do a duet dialogue. I read a line and two children each read their response in turn. This is a great point at which to start the discussion. Cuz usually the duet turns out to be amazing too. They responses are different yet they seem to go together. So why is that? Kids will get well we are just different but also get that both are responding to the same words/poem. So they are bound to connect. Then we gather different kinds of responses. From connections we gather all the different ones: movies, books, similar experiences etc. It's then that I talk about reader response. And I ask them to do a quickwrite about the poem (if they are older) or just share another response orally if they're younger and the writing isn't yet so fluent. I copy them all and post. Kids love it. We put them in books. Kids eventually ask if they can do quadrophonic from 4 corners of the room. They start bringing me poems they think would work best for a dialogue. And wonderfully, they realize that sometimes their response creates its own stand alone poem!!! (They ask if they can change a line or two or three and I of course say yes.) This has been a favorite favorite activity all year long for most of my classes since I first used it with 5/6 graders. High schoolers lover it. First graders can do it. It worked well with reading buddies who could script the first graders responses. Have fun PS It also works when I teach new teachers. Gets them loosened up to the whole idea that we bring different schema to our reading and that is an important part of the process!

Re: [MOSAIC] poems for comprehension strategies
I like that idea, I'm going to order the book Awakening the Heart. - Original Message - From: Sally Thomas sally.thom...@verizon.net To: mosaic listserve mosaic@literacyworkshop.org Sent: Thursday, December 29, 2011 3:29 PM Subject: Re: [MOSAIC] poems for comprehension strategies Jen, Is there any way that we could have a focused discussion around a shared read on the list.

Re: [MOSAIC] poems for comprehension strategies
H, thinking maybe we are on. What if we set a date a few weeks from now or a month and give those who want the chance to get it. Then we start a discussion, maybe reading a chapter or two at a time. And some of us might even try an idea or two. Woo HOO! sally On 12/29/11 6:54 PM, donn...@optonline.net donn...@optonline.net wrote: I love this idea! Im in and ordering the book tomorrow.
