[MOSAIC] your best VISUALIZING lesson

[SooZQ55164 at aol.com]

I read A Night in the Country by Cynthia Rylant but I don't show the kids  
the pictures. I have them draw what they are visualizing and reread and talk  
with a partner to add to their drawing. Then we sort the descriptive words by  
senses and discuss what we could add. We generate list of descriptions and then 
 at the end the kids write a poem about the book. They do a great job. I am  
always amazed!
