Karen LeMaire on 09 Oct 12We liked the question "How do the best writers hook and hold readers?" as a possibility for generating discussion that connects mentor texts with student writing in Writing workshop. We think the above question could also be used in RLA. Lisa posed the question "What makes a story good?" at the beginning of the year in her third grade RLA class. Karen and Lisa think both are possibilities for overarching questions that may help our students make significant connections between what they read and what and how they write. ( Lisa Keeler and Karen LeMaire worked together because Lisa forgot her iPad.)
