It has been a while since I have read or participated in the mosaic discussions. I hope I am not repeating what others have talked about recently. I am hoping to hear from anyone using the assessments in the new "Assessing Comprehension Thinking Strategies" by Ellin Keene. If so, I am wondering if you are combining some of their written assessment with an oral discussion about their reading to get a snapshoot of their understanding for scoring on the rubric. We are using the questions as a summative assessment for each strategy and having students respond in writing. However, to get an accurate picture, we are finding that you need to combine the written with a conference with many students to get an adequate picture of their understanding (about that text). I would loooove to hear from Ellin too. We would love to dialogue about how our teachers are using this assessment book to make instructional discussions about their comprehension lessons. Thanks ahead of time.
