Reminder: This document is in draft form. Based on the most current and future data, the pacing may change. Please only print one semester at a time as changes may be made by the team as deemed necessary.The Purpose of Our Common Core Curriculum Guides
The 2013-2014 Orangeburg Consolidated School District Five Common Core Curriculum Guides provide an overview of key instructional shifts, Common Core State Standards (CCSS) best practices, and upcoming changes to South Carolina assessments. Each curriculum guide offers pacing suggestions, instructional strategies, resources, and assessment items. Our common core curriculum guides provide school-to-school continuity as we work together to build a world-class school system.
Common Core State Standards Background
The Common Core State Standards Initiative is a state-led effort coordinated by the National Governors Association Center for Best Practices (NGA Center) and the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO). The standards were developed in collaboration with teachers, school administrators, and experts, to provide a clear and consistent framework to prepare our children for college and the workforce.
The NGA Center and CCSSO received initial feedback on the draft standards from national organizations representing, but not limited to, teachers, postsecondary educators (including community colleges), civil rights groups, English language learners, and students with disabilities. Following the initial round of feedback, the draft standards were opened for public comment, receiving nearly 10,000 responses.
The standards are informed by the highest, most effective models from states across the country and countries around the world, and provide teachers and parents with a common understanding of what students are expected to learn. Consistent standards will provide appropriate benchmarks for all students, regardless of where they live.
These standards define the knowledge and skills students should have within their K-12 education careers so that they will graduate high school able to succeed in entry-level, credit-bearing academic college courses and in workforce training programs. The standards:
Are aligned with college and work expectations;
Are clear, understandable and consistent;
Include rigorous content and application of knowledge through high-order skills;
Build upon strengths and lessons of current state standards;
Are informed by other top performing countries, so that all students are prepared to succeed in our global economy and society; and
Are evidence-based.

South Carolina has elected to use the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium (Smarter Balanced) as the vehicle for assessing the Common Core State Standards. Smarter Balanced is a state-led consortium working to develop next-generation assessments that accurately measure student progress toward college- and career-readiness. Smarter Balanced is one of two multistate consortia awarded funding from the U.S. Department of Education in 2010. The assessments are scheduled to be administered to students in South Carolina and other states in the consortium beginning in the 2014-15 school year.
The work of Smarter Balanced is guided by the belief that a high-quality assessment system can provide information and tools for teachers and schools to improve instruction and help students succeed regardless of disability, language or subgroup. Smarter Balanced involves experienced educators, researchers, state and local policymakers and community groups working together in a transparent and consensus-driven process.
Smarter Balanced Assessment Item Specifications:

South Carolina Bridge Year Assessments
During the bridge year, our students will take the PASS, EOCEP, and HSAP assessments in 2014. Commonalities between CCSS and PASS will be assessed in ELA and Math. In order to ensure students success on these assessments, teachers are still expected to utilize items that mirror the format of their upcoming standardized test. To increase the rigor of these items, students should cite evidence and explain their answers. These practices align with the expectations of the Common Core State Standards.

Common Core Instructional Shifts
There are twelve shifts that the Common Core requires of us if we are to be truly aligned with it in terms of curricular materials and classroom instruction. There are six shifts in Mathematics and six shifts in ELA/ Literacy.
Shifts in ELA/Literacy
Shift 1Balancing Informational
& Literary TextStudents read a true balance of informational and literary texts.
Shift 2Knowledge in the DisciplinesStudents build knowledge about the world (domains/ content areas) through TEXT rather than the teacher or activities
Shift 3Staircase of ComplexityStudents read the central, grade appropriate text around which instruction is centered. Teachers are patient, create more time and space and support in the curriculum for close reading.
Shift 4Text-based AnswersStudents engage in rich and rigorous evidence based conversations about text.
Shift 5Writing from SourcesWriting emphasizes use of evidence from sources to inform or make an argument.
Shift 6Academic VocabularyStudents constantly build the transferable vocabulary they need to access grade level complex texts. This can be done effectively by spiraling like content in increasingly complex texts.
Academic Vocabulary
TheCommon Core State Standards(CCSS) define academic vocabulary words as the words that are traditionally used in academic dialogue and text. Specifically, it refers to words that are not necessarily common or that children would encounter in conversation. These words often relate to other more familiar words that students use. For example, rather than watch, observe. They are also words that help students understand oral directions and classroom instructional dialog. They also help students to comprehend text across different content areas- including math, science, and social studies/history.
Vocabulary words are often categorized into three tiers.
Tier 1 words:These words are basic vocabulary or the more common words most children will know. They include high-frequency words and usually are not multiple meaning words.
Tier 2 words:Less familiar, yet useful vocabulary found in written text and shared between the teacher and student in conversation. The Common Core State Standards refers to these as general academic words. Sometimes they are referred to as rich vocabulary. These words are more precise or subtle forms of familiar words and include multiple meaning words. Instead of walk for example, saunter could be used. These words are found across a variety of domains.
Tier 3 words:CCSS refers to these words as domain specific; they are critical to understanding the concepts of the content taught in schools. Generally, they have low frequency use and are limited to specific knowledge domains. Examples would include words such as isotope, peninsula, and refinery. They are best learned when teaching specific content lessons, and tend to be more common in informational text.Source: http://www.learninga-z.com/commoncore/academic-vocabulary.htmlInformational Text
The Common Core State Standards (CCSS) defines "informational text" as a broad category of nonfiction resources, including: biographies; autobiographies; books about history, social studies, science, and the arts; technical texts (including how-to books and procedural books); and literary nonfiction. The CCSS stress the importance of focused instruction using informational text with students.
Informational text is designed to make it easier for the reader to find information. This includes using such eye-catching features as section heads, bold-faced terms, table of contents, glossary, captioned photos, art, and info-graphics (graphs, tables, charts and diagrams, etc.)
When selecting informational resources for students, text quality should be judged for its accuracy, the expertise and credibility of the writer, and the currency of the information presented. The developmental appropriateness of the writing, clarity and directness of the language should also be considered.
Why is Increasing the Reading of Informational Text Important?
Traditional reading instruction has always relied heavily on literature and fictional text. Studies show that only 7-15% of classroom time is spent studying informational text. Yet by sixth grade, most of what students are required to read is nonfiction. What's more, 80% of all adult reading is devoted to expository or nonfiction text.
If students are to better comprehend science, social studies, and math text - as well as meet the common core reading and writing requirements for graduation - then we need to increase their exposure to informational texts early in their formal schooling.
Teaching students the skills and strategies to successfully read and comprehend informational text is critical to their future success in higher education and the workplace.
The English Language Arts [ELA] Common Core State Standards recommend more reading of informational text with a ratio of literary to informational as follows:
Grade SpanLiteraryInformational
K-450%50%
5-845%55%
9-1230%70%

CLOSE READING
What is it?
A close reading is a careful and purposeful reading of a text. Its an encounter with the text where students really focus on what the author had to say, what the authors purpose was, what the words mean, and what the structure of the text tells us.
How do I use it?
In a close reading, we have to have students reread the text. We give them questions; text dependent questions that require that they go back into the text and search for answers. These arent simply recall questions, just the facts of the text, but rather questions that allow students to think about the text, and the authors purpose, the structure, and the flow of the text. Close reading requires that students actually think and understand what they are reading.
What does it look like?
Steps in Close Reading
1. First Read: Key Ideas and DetailsSet the purpose for reading and have students read text as independently as possible. Depending on the text complexity and the readers, the first read may be done independently, as a read aloud/think aloud, or paired or shared reading. The first read should be without building background; students should be integrating their background knowledge with the text as they read. Focus on the key ideas and details in the text, making sure that readers know the main idea, story elements, or key details that the author includes.
Following the first read, have students Think-Pair-Share to assess what they have gleaned from the text. By listening to students as they share, you can determine the focus of the first read, etc.
2. Second Read: Craft and StructureFor a second, close read, select a portion or chunk of the text that is close read worthy. That is, have students reread a section that includes complex elements or ideas that they should explore to arrive at a deep understanding of the text. After rereading, students discuss the text with partners or in small groups, focusing on the authors craft and organizational patterns. This may include vocabulary choices, text structure or text features that the author included.
Use a text dependent question to focus or set a purpose for a close rereading. After students share with partners or in small groups, have groups share out with entire class to assess understanding.
3. Third Read: Integration of Knowledge and IdeasThe third close reading of a text should go even deeper, requiring students to synthesize and analyze information from several texts or media. They may record their ideas on sticky notes, graphic organizer, or a thinking sheet.
Have students journal a response to a text dependent question. Focus the discussion on the text evidence.
