Re: [MOSAIC] objective vs strategy

[Mena]

I am very interested in opinions on whether we need a lesson plan for 
every thing we do.Does anyone have an example of a behavioral objective 
written to teach a strategy? I get very confused about writing lesson 
plans for strategies in a scaffolded reading experience (SRE). A lesson 
plan has beginning, middle, and end activities and a SRE has pre-, 
during, and post strategies..so wouldn't a SRE be a lesson plan? I have 
a colleague who has her teachers write a lesson plan for each pre-, 
during, and post strategy.

There was an article in Reading Teacher a while back that argued that a 

skill was a strategy made automatic and unconscious. ...By that 
argument, if
you  want kids to make connections as an automatic thing when they
read...then it is  a skill. Otherwise if kids are consciously using it 
as a tool, it
is a strategy.  As for objective...what do you want the kids to be able 
to do
with connections  and how well do you want it to be learned?

Does that help or have I muddied the waters?

or a
strategy/skill?  I feel the objective is always to become stronger  
readers
and the way we teach the children to become stronger readers is the
strategy, but it is confusing.
