[MOSAIC] comprehension text set

[Amy Marie Eberle]

Hello everyone! I am creating a text set to teach comprehension  
strategies, and I want to use the topic of immigration or government  
because there are so many different text to use with those topics.  I  
am leaning toward immigration, but I would love to hear any  
suggestions on books, websites, newspaper articles or approaches on  
teaching the strategies through the use of these type of texts.  I  
would love to use Esperanza Rising as a read aloud for imagery.  I am  
thinking of creating this for fifth or sixth grade.  In addition to  
teaching comprehension strategies through mini lessons there will be  
some composing lessons as well. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!
Amy
