[MOSAIC] study group

[Theresa Gray]

Hi!
I just had a similar group - only we we were using Building Background Knowledge by Marzano.
I made an anticipation guide about some of the findings from the book - and then made a powerpoint with the page references - to set the stage for the rest of our meetings and lay the groundwork for what we were going to study.  That got the group really engaged with one another and helped to build the trust and relationships that are so critical to sucessful book studies.
Good luck!
 
Theresa

Hi,
I'm conducting a study group  for 5-8th grade teachers who don't have  the book Mosaic of thought in their hands  yet. They will have the book shortly, but I need to met with them this week for an hour. Does any one have any ideas on what I should do with them?    I was thinking of just giving them an overview of the book........That seems so boring to me. Any ideas?
