I have questions for anyone who's familiar with both. How do you see them meshing? What are the advantages of the Cafe over the RW model? Are there any? Do you have any advice for us? I guess my concerns are that the Cafe model looks great in helping with the management piece but is what I would consider to be step 2 in this whole process. We need to implement the model (students reading on their own level rather than drag the class thru one novel) before teachers have something to manage. Please share any insight you all have into this! Thanks! norma An old man once said, "There comes a time in your life, when you walk away from all the drama and people who create it. You surround yourself with people who make you laugh. Forget the bad, and focus on the good. Love the people who treat you right, pray for the ones who don't. Life is too short to be anything but happy. Falling down is a part of life, getting back up is living." ____________________________________________________________ Penny Stock Jumping 3000% Sign up to the #1 voted penny stock newsletter for free today! http://thirdpartyoffers.juno.com/TGL3131/4e4a575ff2756742867st04duc _______________________________________________ Mosaic mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe or modify your membership please go to http://literacyworkshop.org/mailman/options/mosaic_literacyworkshop.org Search the MOSAIC archives at http://snipurl.com/MosaicArchive _______________________________________________ Mosaic mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe or modify your membership please go to http://literacyworkshop.org/mailman/options/mosaic_literacyworkshop.org Search the MOSAIC archives at http://snipurl.com/MosaicArchive
