[MOSAIC] Lead and Stretch

[Julie Sosa]

I was going through some of my emails looking for more information about "lead and stretch", but I just couldn't seem to find the one with all the information.  It was in regards to writing and apparently it had a connection with Carl Anderson.  I have the email piece below.

Wow, this is powerful. Tell me more about the "stretch" part.

Kukonis at aol.com wrote:  . . . Then we created a scroll that was divided into five parts: Lead and a 
stretch, beginning and a stretch, middle and a stretch, outside ending and a 
stretch, and inside ending with a show not tell. (The stretches are developed from 
Carl Anderson's ideas of how kids can expand their sentence by either 1) 
telling the next action, 2) telling their thinking or 3)telling what they said.

  How children learn is as important as what they learn: process and content go hand in hand. http://www.responsiveclassroom.org
