[MOSAIC] visualizing using Carl books

[CNJPALMER at aol.com]

Hello everyone! 
Those of you that have been on the list a while remember that I have been  
doing comprehension lessons in the primary grades using a lesson study process.  
I plan a lesson with two colleagues, we take turns teaching it and we watch 
each  other teach it then meet to revise the lesson to improve it. 
 
I am about to teach the visualizing lesson which I think is from the second  
edition of STW where kids visualize what is happening between each picture in  
the Carl books.  One of the great things about the lesson study protocol we  
are using is that we are asked to think about where our kids might have  
difficulty with the lesson. What I see happening continually is that the kids  who 
have trouble visualizing see what is in the second picture rather than what  
is in between the first and second picture. 
Has anyone else noticed this? What do you all do about it other than model,  
model, model?
Thanks in advance for your help,
Jennifer
