What is Disciplinary Literacy & Why is it
Important?

“The use of reading, reasoning, investigating, speaking, and writing required to learn and form complex content knowledge appropriate to a
particular discipline.” (McConanchie & Petrosky, 2010, p.6).

Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts &
Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science & Technical Subjects

Pedagogical Shifts Demanded by CCSS
![Page 7: Disciplinary Literacy for Deeper Learning Dr. Hiller A. Spires, North Carolina State University August 13, 2015](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110101/56649ec05503460f94bcc402/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Key Research Assertions that Prompted ELA CCSS Shifts
• Student ability to handle complex text is the most important differentiator between students who are ready for college level work and those who are not (ACT, 2006).
• Different disciplines include norms and expectations in practices of understanding and generating new knowledge (Shanahan & Shanahan, 2008; Shanahan, Shanahan, & Misischia, 2011).

How is Disciplinary Literacy Different From Content Area
Literacy?

Examples From Core Disciplines• Construct claims with textual evidence and close
examination of language.(English)
• Construct models & explanations to support scientific hypothesis or design solutions.(Science)
• Corroborate by comparing evidence from sources to develop and strengthen claims.(History/Social Studies)
• Construct viable arguments using abstract and quantitative reasoning.
(Mathematics)

Argumentation
• How are arguments constructed in the discipline?
• How are arguments documented?
• In what ways does a writer situate a unique point-of-view within the work of others?

Within your discipline explore the literacy-based activities related to the inquiry process.
Identify which activities you have engaged in with your students.
Which activities are you interested in conducting with your students?

Analyze the quality of the claims:
• Credibility of sources?
• Did they answer their compelling question?
• How did they use academic language to support their claims?

Getting Close to Close Reading
![Page 21: Disciplinary Literacy for Deeper Learning Dr. Hiller A. Spires, North Carolina State University August 13, 2015](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110101/56649ec05503460f94bcc402/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
What is Close Reading?
Close Reading of text involves an investigation of a short piece of text, with multiple readings done over multiple instructional lessons.
Through text-based questions and discussion, students are guided to deeply analyze and appreciate various aspects of the text, such as:• key vocabulary and how its meaning is shaped by
context; • attention to form, tone, imagery and/or rhetorical devices; • the significance of word choice and syntax; • and the discovery of different levels of meaning as
passages are read multiple times. (Brown & Kappes, 2012, p. 2)

Doing Close Reading Think-Alouds in a One Take Video
1. Find a partner in your discipline.2. Select a text.3. Analyze the text content and language in
preparation for the think-aloud.4. Use your i-pad to record an introduction to your
close reading in which you explain:• what close reading is, • why it is important,• what text you chose, • the purpose for reading,• and your think-aloud
5. Upload your video to YouTube.6. Be prepared to share your Close Reading Think-
Aloud Video with the whole group
