I am a Literacy Coach in my school and I would appreciate an honest frank
exchange with any of my teachers. I am sure you are flattered to have your
practice shared with others, but if you feel your lesson should be a new and
unique experience in 4th grade, then certainly share that with the

Your situation is tough. Maybe they don't know how to go about figuring this
out for themselves. Instead of going through the literacy facilitator, why
couldn't you meet with the other teachers directly and go through the process
of developing the lessons, without disclosing the books

Lisa,
I hadn't even thought of Private I. Guana. That is one of the stories on
that website where famous people read (I can't think of the name of that
website off the top of my head). Now I can keep using "Old Faithful!"
Thanks!

Hi Angela,
I think that using your lessons right down to the texts is really the problem.
Then the kids have heard the stories you want to use. The file folder lesson
could only help them, but I wouldn't let them know what texts/books you're
using. They should have thought about that themselves.
Angela, Ah! New computer...please ignore last
response if it went through!
Anyway...thanks for posting your procedure. I do a
similar lesson, but not with the laminated folders,
which is brilliant! It was a neat twist to add the
"trash" pocket...I think I may "borrow" that if you
don't mind! ;o)

I think that you are right to want the children/teachers to have the
opportunity to use the format, but maybe not the same books. Have you
discussed with your Literacy Coach the idea of maybe having a day where the
other grades could look at this, then come back together with books that they

I know I posted a very long reply to the original post but I have a
question and didn't want it to get lost. I am actually hesitant to ask
this question but it is one that I have been struggling with and would
like to know others' opinions and views.

I have used the file folder lesson several times. I teach fourth grade.
I actually took file folders, glued a book pocket that said "Trash" on the
outside of it, and a blank book pocket on the inside. Then I laminated
them. I made about 20 of them so I can reuse them each year and the

I haven't done Debbie Miller's lesson but I did introduce my students to schema
