This chapter was a good review for me in regard to the developmental stages of writing.  It helped me remember that even though my students are “behind” on the roadmap, they are at least still moving!  The narrative composition rubric and graphic/verbal scaffold tables were very helpful to me.  The chapter reminded me that essential story elements should be focused on regardless of the developmental stage.  It made me think of positive things going on in my classroom (Character Sketchers, etc.)  I loved the trickster tales ideas, even though they seemed like a time-crunch problem.    Wordless picture books could go along with these key ideas, as they bring together kids from all over the “road map” to focus on the same important story structures.  For example, the students could look at the pictures and write the problem and solution on their own.  I think if I was teaching wordless picture books, I would start off writing the words to the story as a whole group.  Then I would break the kids off into small group and eventually individual activities in order to scaffold.
