This is proving to be a most interesting new beginning in our efforts To 
Understand!  

A group of us, both veterans and new teachers, met through the summer to 
discuss To Understand.  We've decided to continue that discussion, starting 
over again - there's so much to absorb!  However, some of us have also just 
finished Debbie Miller's new book, Teaching With Intention.  We have thought 
about encouraging members of our group to read that book along with Keene's.   
Debbie offers some 'ways in' that may scaffold new teachers in the 
comprehension strategies and this would help them be in a better position to 
understand Keene.  We're thinking the combination would deepen our discussions 
of TU partially by building some of that background knowledge many of you have 
referred to.

I'm wondering what others think.
