Dave,
I am using textmapping with my first graders for the first time this week
and I have a question for you. Would you give children a scroll of a
complete text (around 20 pages) or would you divide the text into sections?
My children will be working in groups of 3 or 4. I have copied the book so
that I have a complete text for each group but am wondering if maybe I
should divide the text between two groups. We are studying conventions of
nonfiction text (Debbie Miller). I will be modeling for them and we will
work together across days before I send them off to work on the scrolls in
these small groups.
I would love to hear your thinking.
Thank you,
Karen Wetherell
Columbus, GA

I am writing a book and could use some teacher voices. If you have used
scrolls and textmapping in your classroom, please consider sharing
something about how you used them and how they worked for you and your
students. For example:
* a classroom story (short and sweet is fine; more if you have it in you)
* short supportive comments that could be sprinkled around for emphasis or
interest.
If this is something that you would like to discuss, or if you just want
to send me your comments, please email me off list.
As always, thanks so much for your interest and support!
- Dave
