I actually was able to see good words problems used in a literacy lesson. The lesson exercise used consisted of several word problems. The students were asked to fill in two answers: the answer to the word problem and making a vocabulary word plural with''ves'. For example, leaf to leaves, wolf to wolves, etc. Here are a couple sample problems.
Four ___________ are eating. One wolf walks away. How many are left?________.
You eat half of an apple. You eat one half more. How many __________ so you eat?_________.
All the problems were similiar to the above. They were mostly JRU, SRC, and JCU problems. I believe it was actually not a bad choice of word problems especially being that it was a dominant literacy lesson with some math integration. Each problem had a distinct action within which enabled the children to know exactly what to do.
