But first, remember,more important than individual standards are…

04/10/23


…the three big shifts

• Building content knowledge through (reading) rich nonfiction

• Reading, writing, and speaking grounded in evidence from the text, both literary and informational.

• Regular practice with complex text and its academic language.

Standard Progression Activity• You have been given all of the literacy standards

from one domain, cut up by standard.• Place the standards in ascending order by grade

band.

Third Grade Standard 1 Ask and answer questions to demonstrate understanding of a text, referring explicitly to the text as the basis for the answers

Fourth Grade Standard 1Refer to details and examples in a text when explaining what the text says explicitly and when drawing inferences from the text.

Fifth Grade Standard 1Quote accurately from a text when explaining what the text says explicitly and when drawing inferences from the text.

What is it?


Reciprocal Teaching

04/10/23

Teacher explicitly teaches strategies.

Students take turns practicing strategies independently and in groups with text or

media.

Students rotate through the roles.

Students share and compare responses within small groups.

Students collaboratively

answer their own questions.

Students share best questions and

answers with class.

Students learn to predict, question,

clarify, and summarize independently.

• THESE are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value.
