[MOSAIC] Comprehension in general

[mbrand125 at optonline.net]

In my classroom, we do an inquiry about conversation.  Part of their homework for a week is to jot down conversation they see and hear.  Then they decide which they thought were "good" conversations, and which weren't.  We chart the qualities that each of the good conversations had.  We then try and practice those traits when having book talks.  I will ask some to fishbowl their talk if I think there's something of value the others can take from it in terms of conversation.
