With my students, as far as retelling, I do a lot of asking, "and then what happened, and then what happened, and then what happened?" as we retell books together, and it really does carry over. Of course, we do oral retelling, not written on our assessments. We have just added a written piece, actually. However, we can have them dictate and write their responsed for them.

We have been doing a five finger retelling to get to the main ideas. Easier when done orally, but with enough practice they are transferring to written work. I LOVE reading workshop... but wonder how my gr. 1 colleagues held kids accountable for showing their comprehension. Higher stakes in second grade require some written responses or presentations of understanding. I am glad to hear more ideas. renee teaching is a work of heart > From: [email protected] > Subject: Mosaic Digest, Vol 52, Issue 5 > To: [email protected] > Date: Tue, 7 Dec 2010 12:00:04 -0500 > > Send Mosaic mailing list submissions to > [email protected] > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > http://literacyworkshop.org/mailman/listinfo/mosaic_literacyworkshop.org > > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > [email protected] > > You can reach the person managing the list at > [email protected] > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of Mosaic digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.
