[MOSAIC] Looking for 3rd Grade Reading Workshop Units of Study

[Kurtt,Casey]

I'm finishing up my second year as a 3rd grade teacher in a district that is trying to implement balanced literacy, but we are lacking a lot of resources.  I've done a lot of my own research on the topic and discovered some really great resources from this website.  The first resource that I found really helpful was entitled "Year Comprehension Emphasis Chart from Cathy".  I think this would be a great model for my district to follow, but unfortunately we don't have a reading curriculum that follows this model.  The other two resources that were very useful were entitled "Inferring Unit of Study by Sandi" and "Questioning Unit of Study by Sandi".  I really like the way she has a focus each week and then detailed mini-lessons for each day.  I would love to have similar resources for teaching units of study on Metacognition, Connections, Visualizing, Determining Importance, and Synthesis.  I was wondering if anyone has an email address for the Sandi who created these units of study so I could contact her to see if she has other ones.  If not, does anyone know of any other resources that have units of study for these comprehension strategies?  I would really appreciate your help with this.  Thanks so much!!!
