This sounds like a group who should never have been grouped together unless there is only one class for each grade level. This would be my argument against ability grouping if that explains any of this--classes with no leaders or no students who possess curiosity to learn--that last part is not always driven by ability. But there are students who need the stimulation of others, and if too many of these type of students are in the same class there are no students to provide the stimulation. Laura C

It's just something to do. I've asked them to tell me about their video games, but they can't tell me anthing beyond the surface. They don't get involved with the games like previous years, it's just something to do. Sadly, most don't play with any passion. If they watch TV, it's MTV and the sex shows like BEDROOM INVADERS or Jackass type shows. NO STORYLINES, only YOUTUBE type experiences with short 5-10 minute clips. They don't even watch IDOL or other shows. Mostly YOUTUBE, MYSPACE, and other things they shouldn't be watching.... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Renee" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Mosaic: A Reading Comprehension Strategies Listserv" <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, March 10, 2007 9:20 PM Subject: Re: [MOSAIC] Comprehension in general > Bill, > > Do they play video games?
