I want to start by saying I have not read all of today's posts, so I may be redundant.
Beverlee asks "What do we hope kids remember from texts?" I want them to remember what they learned, the lesson, the theme, etc. But also want them to file the book away in their memory somehow, so that they can call on it when the find another book/poem/event they can connect it too. This is an important building block of learning. How can we build in more schema for that?

Is that natural...or, if not, what ave we done in education that's caused them to infer that what we want is a isting of what was in a book rather than what connections the book caused to hem and their life? o I guess my big question is: What is it we hope for kids to remember from ext? Like me, my kids have trouble remembering titles--but I've never deemed hat particularly important. Do we want them to remember the plot? The feel of he book? What it left them thinking? What do you think we want to help them emember?Judy ________________________________________________________________ ack up or back up–use SkyDrive to transfer files or keep extra copies.
