[MOSAIC] Beyond Retelling

Lori,
I think your reply was a good one.... creating a rubric together with the  
kids makes the most sense....I always appreciate your posts and the idea to  
create a rubric and have kids rate the teacher can work for any strategy.....  
which is what I plan to include this year.... reminds me of Lucy Calkin's side  
by side charts... the ones that are exemplars and the ones that you don't  
necessarily ever want a kid to model.
 
 This kind of direct instruction "with your play on it" will really  tickle 
and yet inform the brains of my first graders. I already have the kids  rating 
themselves with a tape recorder for read aloud ... now I can see how they  can 
continue this self-monitoring throughout the year and  have concrete and 
accountable evidence for their rating. Seems like you  have taken that underground 
thinking and made it visible for all of us. Thanks  for the tip
Pam
