[MOSAIC] appreciating reading/book talks

[Kukonis at aol.com]

Ducks at Night is merely an example of  a reader response  concentrating on 
mental images that would work for any story. Basically a  t-chart. Kids draw a 
picture of their mental image on one side oh the t-chart.  Then find a 
partner. Compare pictures and talk about why they added what they  drew. Then going 
back to their own charts  (second side of the  t-chart)  and add new ideas or 
delete incorrect old thinking that they  talked about with their partner. Best 
part is that all kids see how much better  their mental image is in terms of 
accuracy and detail after the  conversation.
