What are Text Dependent Questions?  Questions that can only be answered with evidence from the text  Can be literal but can also involve analysis, synthesis, evaluation  Focus on a word, sentences, phrases, and/or paragraphs as well as larger ideas, themes or events  Focus on difficult portions of text in order to enhance reading proficiency

Types of Text-Dependent Questions When you're writing or reviewing a set of questions, consider the following categories: Questions that assess themes and big ideas Questions that assess knowledge of vocabulary Questions that assess syntax and structure 16

Non-Examples and Examples  In “Casey at the Bat,” Casey strikes out. Describe a time when you failed at something.  In “Letter from a Birmingham Jail,” Dr. King discusses nonviolent protest. Discuss, in writing, a time when you wanted to fight against something that you felt was unfair.  In “The Gettysburg Address” Lincoln says the nation is dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

The Thinking Behind the Unit What curriculum are we all familiar with? What is the Theme/Big Idea identified in HM?

The Thinking Behind the Unit Does the theme/Big Idea work? Does it tie in with any science or social studies standards? Animals coexist with people in a variety of habitats.

The Thinking Behind the Unit What standards are taught during this Instructional Period? Human impact on the environment affects animals’ survival.

The Thinking Behind the Unit Keeping in mind the standards that need to be taught, and the Big Idea of the unit, what text is the best fit for the unit? Human impact on the environment affects animals’ survival.

The Thinking Behind the Unit What text is the best fit for the unit? Human impact on the environment affects animals’ survival. How will we know our students made the connection to the big idea at the end of the unit AND after each text? Unit Culminating Task after selection 3 Culminating Task after selection 2 Culminating Task after selection1

Selection Culminating Tasks Selection: Could a Polar Bear Survive in the Desert? Jigsaw Activity: Students will use the graphic organizer to create an encyclopedia page that describes the animal’s environment and adaptations to survive. Selection: Harcourt Science Text Unit 3 Lesson 4 Write a paragraph that describes a change in an environment that helps some animals but harms others. Selection: Helping Giant Pandas Internet Article In groups create and present a poster that illustrates a Panda Bear issue or problem with evidence about how humans impact the problem. Independent Writing: Take a stand. Do humans help or hurt panda survival? Support your opinion using details from the text. Selection: Nights of the Pufflings (HM) Determine whether humans harmed or helped the pufflings in this story? Write a paragraph using evidence from the story to support your answer. Students will then use their writing to support their claim in a class debate. Unit Culminating Task Every day endangered animals are dying. The Fresno Bee thinks humans are responsible, others disagree. Take a stand, do people impact animals in a positive or negative way? Write a letter to the Fresno Bee using evidence from the unit to support your opinion.

The Thinking Behind the Unit Human impact on the environment affects animals’ survival. Keeping in mind the standards, the big idea, the text, and the culminating tasks, What types of questions will get our students reading, writing, speaking grounded in evidence? How will our students process this information? Unit Culminating Task after text 3 Culminating Task after text 2 Culminating Task after text 1
