6 Instructional Shifts Required by the Common Core
Increasing rigor and relevance Sharing responsibility of teaching reading and writing across content areas Building knowledge through content-rich nonfiction and informational text Reading, writing, speaking and listening grounded in evidence from texts Practicing regularly with complex text and its academic vocabulary Emphasizing 3 modes of academic writing Addressing grade level literacy outcomes © 2009 Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation

7 Structure of the Standards
Strand Anchor Standard Grade-Specific Standard There are four strands within the ELA standards: Reading, Writing, Speaking and Listening, Language (K-5 also have an additional strand - Reading Standards: Foundation Skills) The grade level standards were created after the anchor standards and were built from them. The idea was: If we agree that every graduate should be able to do those anchor standards, then what will it take to get students college and career-ready over the course of the K-12 journey? There are content area literacy standards for reading and writing as well. Every field (biology, history, fine arts, etc.) has its own knowledge base, and every subject area teacher needs to teach the written record of that field. The standards for text complexity are listed by grade bands.

8 4 Strands Reading Writing - W Speaking and Listening - SL Language - L
Literature - RL Informational - RI Foundations - RF Writing - W Speaking and Listening - SL Language - L The CCSS for English Language Arts & Literacy in History/ Social Studies, Science and Technical Subjects are made up of a set of anchor and corresponding grade-specific standards that are organized around 4 strands.

9 Getting to Know the Anchor Standards

11 Change in Expectations
Deconstructing a Standard –Reading Standard for Informational Text 1 Anchor Standard: 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. Grade and Standard K - With prompting and support, ask and answer questions about key details in a text. 1st - Ask and answer questions about key details in a text. 2nd - Ask and answer such questions as who, what, where, when, why, and how to demonstrate understanding of key details in a text. Change in Expectations Ask and answer questions about key details in a text. (no prompting) Ask and answer such questions as who, what, where, when, why, and how to demonstrate understanding of key details in a text. Jody © 2009 Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation

12 Grade and Standard Change in Expectation
2nd - Ask and answer such questions as who, what, where, when, why, and how to demonstrate understanding of key details in a text. 3rd - Ask and answer questions to demonstrate understanding of a text, referring explicitly to the text as the basis for the answers. 4th - Refer to details and examples in a text when explaining what the text says explicitly and when drawing inferences from the text. 5th - Quote accurately from a text when explaining what the text says explicitly and when drawing inferences from the text.

27 Overview of the LDC Framework
LDC as a strategy leads with a task UbD --- What does success look like? What task to demo that success? What skills do they need to be successful? What instruction will get them there? What will the results be?

29 The Core of the LDC Framework
What Task? - Section 1 The Core of the LDC Framework Why the emphasis on tasks? “What was different in the four classrooms was what students were actually being asked to do, and the degree to which the teacher was able to engage students in the work by scaffolding their learning up to the complexity of the task she was asking them to do.” – Richard Elmore Rounds in Education. lizabeth A.

30 Creating Rich Teaching Tasks
“… the basic components of a writing assignment or prompt are: (a) the topic, (b) the audience, and the rhetorical structure or genre to be produced.” “A poorly designed writing prompt can result in student writing that does not meet the intended requirements of the teacher.” “The Literacy Design Collaborative (LDC) proposes that good writing prompts can be formulated using prefabricated task templates that allow the teacher to customize.” Close Reading and Writing From Sources by Douglas Fisher and Nancy Frey 2014

31 The Template Tasks and the CCSS
Task 2 Template (Argumentation/Analysis): [Insert optional question] After reading ________ (literature or informational texts), write a/an ________ (essay or substitute) in which you address the question and argue_______(content) Support your position with evidence from the text(s).

32 Template Task Collection
The “Template Task Collection” is organized by… Writing Type: Argumentation, Informational/Explanatory, Narrative Text Structure: Definition, Description, Analysis, Problem-Solution, etc. Task Types: “After researching...” or “Insert Essential Question” Essential Question is optional in new template drafts Mode of writing Text structure Left side – after researching Right side – insert essential question – texts provided ---- Essential question optional in new drafts of templates Increasing rigor and relevance Building knowledge through content-rich nonfiction and informational text Emphasizing 3 modes of academic writing © 2009 Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation

33 Demands Demands are additional writing and cognitive challenges that you can add to a template task. Demands are developed from language in the CCSS. Demands can scaffold your instruction.

60 Choosing the Texts (and if desired, multi-media)
The text selection is critical! Look for the perfect balance: reading level of students complexity of text (demands on skills and stamina of reader) background knowledge required for comprehension sufficiency of content for writing task Keep Gradual Release in mind: -whole group -small group -independent Be sure text provides students with information needed to respond completely to the teaching task. Text selection is critical to a successful module. As you are deciding texts, think about these tips: - Be sure the text provides ample content specific information for the student to successfully complete the teaching task. (Highlighting the key information may be a helpful strategy for you to make this determination.) Consider the complexity of the text (quantitative level, structure, language features and demands, knowledge demands, purpose and meaning, and layout). Look at the Lexile level of each text as a starting point Look for a balance of texts. Consider instructional opportunities. Remembering the Gradual Release of Responsibility, consider text that will be appropriate for whole group, small group and independent reading. Also consider other quantitative and qualitative measures to determine complexity of the texts. For argumentation tasks, be sure the quantity and content of texts aren’t biased. We will continue our discussion regarding text selection on the next slide. If an argumentation task, be sure the quantity and content of texts arent biased. More on text complexity tomorrow…

61 Creating an Overview Written to colleagues
Include who, what, when, where, why, how This module sits inside a unit in which students study the Age of Revolution and the focus of the module is on the British Industrial Revolution. Students will draw on content studied during the unit and their readings of primary and secondary sources about the module topic to write an argumentative essay…

62 Creating the Background Section
Written to the students Include who, what, when, where, why, how In this module you apply what you learned in the unit on the Age of Revolution to assess whether the achievements of the British Industrial Revolution outweighed the societal cost. You should draw on what you have learned in the unit and apply the reading, research, and writing skills you learned throughout the semester thus far.
