Aligned to requirements for college and career readiness Greater clarity concerning student learning expectations Based on evidence Realistic expectations about time – Fewer in number – Clearer in describing outcomes – Higher to the degree that what is included is what is expected Principles of the CCRSL 6

CCRS.ELA-Literacy.CCRA.R.1 Read closely to determine what the text says explicitly and to make logical inferences from it; cite specific textual evidence when writing or speaking to support conclusions drawn from the text. CCRS.ELA-Literacy.CCRA.R.2 Determine central ideas or themes of a text and analyze their development; summarize the key supporting details and ideas. CCRS.ELA-Literacy.CCRA.R.3 Analyze how and why individuals, events, or ideas develop and interact over the course of a text. Key Ideas and Details 7

CCRS.ELA-Literacy.CCRA.R.4 Interpret words and phrases as they are used in a text, including determining technical, connotative, and figurative meanings, and analyze how specific word choices shape meaning or tone.

ACTIVITY Lord of the Flies and the Anchor Standards See Handout 3: Chapter 4 of Lord of the Flies 13

Now we are going to look at the anchor standards within the context of a piece of literature. Activity: Lord of the Flies 14

Anchor StandardsWork of the Standard (s) Standard 1 & 10View the standards like a ladder, with standards 1 and 10 as the crucial struts that form the two sides of the ladder, and the other reading standards as the rungs of the ladder Standards 2 & 3Demand that readers summarize, connect, and infer central ideas and themes and trace their development Standards 4, 5 & 6Deepen the reader’s understanding of meaning. Essentially, asking readers to investigate the effect of author’s decisions—about language, structure, point of view, voice, style—on the meaning of texts Standards 7, 8 & 9Mobilize readers to read texts (books as well as other sorts of texts) that “go together” and to think across those texts, making connections and comparisons Making Connections 15

Anchor Standard 7, 9 and 10 make the case for text sets. A Case for Text Sets 16 As leaders, what conversations can we engage in and what actions can we take now to support this approach?
