ss content? All I can think of is Social Studies. If that's what you
mean, then you'll find a basic introduction with a textbook example (links
below). From this you could infer what to do with drama -- map the
characters, plot, etc and discuss so that the students understand what it is
that they -- as actors, set designers, etc -- should be trying to
communicate (emotions, back stories, etc). There are also some interesting
things that you can do with music scores -- mapping the arc and flow of the
score and of the dance that tracks it. Contact me off list if that
interests you.
But back to the textbook example:
* using scrolls: http://www.textmapping.org/using.html
* mapping scrolls: http://www.textmapping.org/mapping.html (you'll need to
scroll down to read the whole page)
I hope that this is helpful. Stay in touch. Let me know how it goes!

Hey Dave I used Text Mapping with my sixth graders in Social Studies we
studied Ancient Cultures. I used this for the opening chapters for each
of
the four cultures as they were good overviews to set-up for the kids
what
each culture would be like. It also reinforced all the features of
non-fiction text that they were exposed to as we explored internet
sites,
magazine articles, and books.
Hope this helps.

A penny for your thoughts: If you used scrolls and textmapping in your
classrooms last year, would you take a moment to summarize how things
went?
It could be as simple as, "I teach fourth grade language arts in
Timbuktu,
and it made a big difference for eight of my twenty-four students."
(And
perhaps you could give an example of a lesson that worked particularly
well,
or of a child who benefitted)
Your feedback would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
