2. Kansas State Department of Education www.ksde.org To Start Off: Please reflect on what you will be able to observe (see, hear) when you have successfully implemented Kansas ELA College and Career- Ready State Standards in your schools and districts. Teacher Practices? Student Work? Instructional Materials?

3. Kansas State Department of Education www.ksde.org The Gettysburg Address Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. (see handout)

9. Kansas State Department of Education www.ksde.org Why is knowing the text complexity so important?  Core Task Project Reflections Video  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eSYiwPJF MM8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eSYiwPJF MM8

10. Kansas State Department of Education www.ksde.org Key Learning  Text Complexity  Close Reading/Text-dependent questions  Academic Vocabulary  Syntax

11. Kansas State Department of Education www.ksde.org Text-Dependent Questions...  Can only be answered with evidence from the text.  Can be literal (checking for understanding) but must also involve analysis, synthesis, evaluation.  Focus on word, sentence, and paragraph, as well as larger ideas, themes, or events.  Focus on difficult portions of text in order to enhance reading proficiency.  Can also include prompts for writing and discussion questions.

12. Kansas State Department of Education www.ksde.org Three Types of Text-Dependent Questions  When writing or reviewing a set of questions, initially consider the following three categories:  Questions that assess themes and central ideas  Questions that assess knowledge of vocabulary  Questions that assess syntax and structure

13. Kansas State Department of Education www.ksde.org Non-Examples and Examples 13  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. Why is equality an important value to promote? What makes Casey’s experiences at bat humorous? What can you infer from King’s letter about the letter that he received? “The Gettysburg Address” mentions the year 1776. According to Lincoln’s speech, why is this year significant to the events described in the speech? Not Text-DependentText-Dependent

14. Kansas State Department of Education www.ksde.org Which of these Questions are Text- Dependent? 1.Have you ever been to a funeral? 2.What important event took place in 1776? 3.What impact does starting the sentence with “now” have on its meaning? 4.What does “conceived” mean? 5.What is the point of including the phrase “or any nation so conceived and so dedicated”? What would the sentence mean without it? 6.Why did the North and the South fight the civil war?

20. Kansas State Department of Education www.ksde.org Basal and Anthology Alignment Projects  Cooperation of textbook publishers  District teams comprised of literacy, ELL, SWD, and other educators  Examine adopted materials and write text-dependent, CCSS- aligned questions for basal reading selections in grades 3-5 (BAP) and grades 6-12 (AAP)  Focused on evaluating existing questions for alignment and writing good text-dependent questions to sources  Require close reading of the text and preparation for the culminating, text-based discussion or writing task

21. Kansas State Department of Education www.ksde.org Read-Aloud Project  Student Achievement Partners and The Council of the Great City Schools launched the Read-Aloud Project (RAP) for the K-2 grade band.  Written by teams of curriculum, English language learning specialists, and Special Education educators.  Text-dependent questions to go with picture books that are above grade level and rich with complex text.  Build knowledge and vocabulary

22. Kansas State Department of Education www.ksde.org How to access BAP, RAP, AAP on Edmodo  Go to www.edmodo.comwww.edmodo.com  Create a teacher user name and password  Use the following codes to access the BAP, AAP, and RAP codes respectively:  BAP: f4q6nm  AAP: pkx4sp  RAP: pkx52i
