2010 Reading Standards for Literacy in Science & Technical Subjects 6-12 Grade 7

MPS Examples for Support/Clarification and Resources added by Mesa Public Schools *This is an Arizona addition to the ELA Common Core Standards-Bold text denotes exact wording from State Arizona Department of Education: K-12 Literacy (Pending MPS Board Approval) 1 5/14/13

Common Core Standard MPS Examples for Support /Clarification MPS Resources Key Ideas and Details 7.RST.1 Cite specific textual evidence to support analysis of science and technical texts.

• Tsunami articles, NASA website for articles, cost analysis, evidence that supports article.

• Independent research on variety of topics, i.e., earthquakes

in Arizona

• Earthquakes - what causes earthquakes and volcanoes

• Volcanoes

• Ecology-research an endangered species • Renewable resources-solar/wind energy

• Mineral uses • Science related articles

(use AVID database, National Geographic, NASA, etc.) • Quarterly science research topics

• Current events

• Plate tectonics and magma convection currents

• NASA • USGS • Sky and Telescope • Amazing Sky • newyorkscienceteacher.com • AVID database • MPS library resources • Discovery Channel • http://www.cnn.com/studentnews/ • Build a working model. • Discovery Channel

Key Ideas and Details 7.RST.2 Determine the central ideas or conclusions of a text; provide an accurate summary of the text distinct from prior knowledge or opinions.

• Summarize safety concerns for labs, sequence lab activities and steps.

• Summarize the effect of a tsunami or natural disaster and how

it applies to real world situations.

• Summarize how convection currents cause the tectonic plates to shift

• Summarize how scientists have contributed to scientific

innovations (ex. Hubble, Lowell)

• Summarize textbook information of safety

• Summarize classroom procedures

• Quarterly science projects

• New York Times articles

• Mark the text (AVID), depending on the unit, of biographies of scientists that have made significant contributions to the unit.

• Synthesize two texts together for themes

• Safety Agreement • Safety videos • Evacuation routes • Early warning systems • Earthquake monitoring

system • Holt interactive textbook

online • Flinn.com




Key Ideas and Details 7.RST.3 Follow precisely a multistep procedure when carrying out experiments, taking measurements, or performing technical tasks.

• Follow written instruction for conducting a volume, mass, or density lab.

• Appropriate procedures to find mass using a triple beam

balance.

• Conduct any investigation (ex. gummy bear lab) following directions.

• Creating an experiment including procedures

• Science fair procedures

• Measurement labs

• Measurement centers

• Create or identify a lab by simpling — Procedures need to be specific

• Lab materials




Craft and Structure 7.RST.4 Determine the meaning of symbols, key terms, and other domain-specific words and phrases as they are used in a specific scientific or technical context relevant to grades 6–8 texts and topics.

• Food Webs and Food chains. Determine the meaning of the arrow and the direction of the Web.

• Rock Cycle–arrows and direction of cycle

• Phases of the moon

• Seasons • Safety symbols • L to J quizzes (vocab..) • Marzano strategies

(illustrate, synonym, antonym, examples, use in context) • Food Pyramid symbols used within. Students don't connect

bread back to wheat.

• Curriculum map (key words)




Craft and Structure 7.RST.5 Analyze the structure an author uses to organize a text, including how the major sections contribute to the whole and to an understanding of the topic.

• Have students look at lab reports and have them analyze and evaluate the work to decide its relevance to the whole.

• Bullseye from NSTA 2009-Reading and Writing in Science.

• Jigsaw with different articles or same topic compare/contrast. • Graphic organizer to fill in format (use English dept. organizer).

• Complete a textbook scavenger hunt. Use and cite strategies.

• Guided reading in text

• telescopes • electromagnetic spectrum • minerals • rocks • populations • ecosystems

• Thinking maps

• Cornell notes

• Guided reading - ecology

• Textbook




Craft and Structure 7.RST.6 Analyze the author’s purpose in providing an explanation, describing a procedure, or discussing an experiment in a text.

• Read an article about the layers of the Grand Canyon and then analyze why the author would include the layers of the earth and why they are in a certain order. Traveling Trunks from Grand Canyon. Free just pay for postage.

• Analyze why the author from Sierra Club wrote about

spotted owl protection and compare it to the logging companies point of view

• Science related articles (AVID database, National

Geographic, NASA, etc. • Counter argument article • Points of view of drug co. • CNN student news: Media Literacy Question of the Day.

Examine media messages of science content.

• http://www.cnn.com/studentnews/




Integration of Knowledge and Ideas 7.RST.7 Integrate quantitative or technical information expressed in words in a text with a version of that information expressed visually (e.g., in a flowchart, diagram, model, graph, or table).

• AFTER READING ARTICLE /TEXT - Plot or draw a diagram of a constellation. - Timeline of telescopes - Graph any experiment - make a star frame

• Venn diagram to compare/contrast text and associated illustration.

• Brainstorm vocabulary (key terms) and group words to create mind

maps.

• Diagram earth and moon during high and low tides.

• Science fair

• Gum lab (Exp. with 4 types and graph)

• Reason for seasons lab

• What is science/not science article-do Venn diagram or other graphic organizer

• Lesson of Kaibab

• Textbook • Concept maps




Integration of Knowledge and Ideas 7.RST.8 Distinguish among facts, reasoned judgment based on research findings, and speculation in a text.

• Read a letter to the editor that proposes solutions to prevent another Katrina like event. Distinguish between facts.

• Effect of construction on increased occurrence and intensity of

haboobs. • CSI - written conclusion based on evidence

• Compare a Wikipedia article to a scientific text on the same topic.

Distinguish between facts.

• Observation/Inference activities • Black Magic (Kim @ Shepherd) • Fact/Fiction fair tales • Number sequence • Crime Science (SRO)

• Compare primary source of a point in time with a text written at a

later point.

• Internet webpages

• Wikipedia




Integration of Knowledge and Ideas 7.RST.9 Compare and contrast the information gained from experiments, simulations, video, or multimedia sources with that gained from reading a text on the same topic.

• Plate tectonics read the text book and watch a video to compare and contrast text.

• Simulate the positions of the earth and moon at each phase after

reading text.

• Read Wump World and watch the Lorax after reading text about environmental pollutants. Compare and contrast.

• Galaxy Speed lab - compare lab results to text

• Reason for seasons lab-compare lab results to text

• Solar System/University in a Box (Kim @ Shepard)

• "Biggering with Sniggerings" (Poem with true ecological effects)

• Internet • Lorax • Wump World • Discovery

Channel videos




Range of Reading and Level of Text Complexity 7.RST.10 By the end of grade 8, read and comprehend science/technical texts in the grades 6–8 text complexity band independently and proficiently.

• Read an informational manual and have them perform the task.

• Have students read a technology article and then compare and contrast the new information to the recent.

• All guided readings

• Science articles

• Process/sequence essays

• Recipes

• book shelves • shop or wood
