Since we are in flux with the discussion, I thought I'd share something that I created last year. I had the chance to hear Ellin in Philly a year and a half ago before To Understand came out...she shared the content from the book, and I was so encouraged and excited to share all that I learned with the teachers with whom I work. I created an organizer (I like to call it a cheat sheet) on some of the big ideas with regard to the cueing systems. As I listened to her, and processed it afterward, I saw it as a "Yin/Yang" effect and, as such, created this document to look like a modern ying/yang. Keith has graciously posted it to the Mosaic list site. Follow the link...you may have to cut and paste into your web browser. http://readinglady.com/mosaic/tools/tools.htm. Look for the documents under the "Staff Development" section. The grand irony in it all for me was that; in creating this, I was doing exactly what Ellin said we do when we construct meaning...and it was interesting to reflect back on it and say...oh yes, this is what I was doing here, and there, and everywhere. I must have been trying "To Understand". :) Thanks, Ellin! I'd love to hear what you all think! :) Peter from Maryland >> _________________________________________________________________ >> Stay in touch when you're away with Windows Live Messenger. >> http://www.windowslive.com/messenger/overview.html?ocid=TXT_TAGLM_WL_messenger2_072008 >> _______________________________________________ >> Understand mailing list >> [email protected] >> http://literacyworkshop.org/mailman/listinfo/understand_literacyworkshop.org > > > _______________________________________________ > Understand mailing list > [email protected] > http://literacyworkshop.org/mailman/listinfo/understand_literacyworkshop.org _______________________________________________ Understand mailing list [email protected] http://literacyworkshop.org/mailman/listinfo/understand_literacyworkshop.org _______________________________________________ Understand mailing list [email protected] http://literacyworkshop.org/mailman/listinfo/understand_literacyworkshop.org
