[MOSAIC] 10 questions

[gina nunley]

I am in the process of identifying 10 Course Questions for my sixth grde LA 
classs.  The purpose is this-  If I ask my students these questions at the 
end of the year or even next year, I would hope their responses would be a 
reflection that I taught them what was most important about life long 
reading.  These should be macro level questions such as

How does reading strategically change you as a reader?


I would LOVE to hear some questions that you think you might use.

There are no right answers here, and the process of creating these questions 
really aligns your philosophy with curriculum, and I think sets you on the 
path of truly doing what you want to  as a reading teacher.

If you only have 1 question I would love to hear it.

In that same vein I am working with content area teachers on concept work.  
We are trying to teach with the "less is more" idea by identifying concepts 
in our subject areas.  We are STRUGGLING in LA because it appears to be 
difficult to identify concepts  (we have plenty of skills, strategies, and 
processes)

Do any of you have a few concepts you feel are critical to teaching Reading?

Ex:  STrategies

Thanks, Gina
