English Language Arts Standards » Reading: Literature » Grade 7
Key Ideas and Details1. Cite several pieces of textual evidence to support analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text.2. Determine a theme or central idea of a text and analyze its development over the course of the text; provide an objective summary of the text.3. Analyze how particular elements of a story or drama interact (e.g., how setting shapes the characters or plot). Craft and Structure4. Determine the meaning of words and phrases as they are used in a text, including figurative and connotative meanings; analyze the impact of rhymes and other repetitions of sounds (e.g., alliteration) on a specific verse or stanza of a poem or section of a story or drama. 5. Analyze how a drama’s or poem’s form or structure (e.g., soliloquy, sonnet) contributes to its meaning.6. Analyze how an author develops and contrasts the points of view of different characters or narrators in a text. Integration of Knowledge and Ideas7. Compare and contrast a written story, drama, or poem to its audio, filmed, staged, or multimedia version, analyzing the effects of techniques unique to each medium (e.g., lighting, sound, color, or camera focus and angles in a film). 8. (Not applicable to literature)9. Compare and contrast a fictional portrayal of a time, place, or character and a historical account of the same period as a means of understanding how authors of fiction use or alter history. Range of Reading and Level of Text Complexity10.By the end of the year, read and comprehend literature, including stories, dramas, and poems, in the grades 6–8 text complexity band proficiently, with scaffolding as needed at the high end of the range.
![Page 14: Understanding the Common Core State Standards in ELA](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062316/568166f1550346895ddb4f47/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Text Types and Purposes*1. Write arguments to support claims with clear reasons and relevant evidence. *2. Write informative/explanatory texts to examine a topic and convey ideas, concepts, and information through the selection, organization, and analysis of relevant content. *3. Write narratives to develop real or imagined experiences or events using effective technique, relevant descriptive details, and well-structured event sequences. Production and Distribution of Writing4. Produce clear and coherent writing in which the development, organization, and style are appropriate to task, purpose, and audience. (Grade-specific expectations for writing types are defined in standards 1–3 above.)5. With some guidance and support from peers and adults, develop and strengthen writing as needed by planning, revising, editing, rewriting, or trying a new approach, focusing on how well purpose and audience have been addressed.6. Use technology, including the Internet, to produce and publish writing and link to and cite sources as well as to interact and collaborate with others, including linking to and citing sources. Research to Build and Present Knowledge7. Conduct short research projects to answer a question, drawing on several sources and generating additional related, focused questions for further research and investigation.8. Gather relevant information from multiple print and digital sources, using search terms effectively; assess the credibility and accuracy of each source; and quote or paraphrase the data and conclusions of others while avoiding plagiarism and following a standard format for citation.*9. Draw evidence from literary or informational texts to support analysis, reflection, and research. Range of Writing10. Write routinely over extended time frames (time for research, reflection, and revision) and shorter time frames (a single sitting or a day or two) for a range of discipline-specific tasks, purposes, and audiences.

Several Key Shifts

1. Make close reading of texts central to lesson
2. Structure majority of instruction so all students read grade-level complex texts
3. Emphasize informational texts from early grades on
4. Provide scaffolding that does not preempt or replace text
5. Ask text-dependent questions
Ten Guiding Principles
![Page 21: Understanding the Common Core State Standards in ELA](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062316/568166f1550346895ddb4f47/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
6. Provide extensive research and writing opportunities (claims and evidence)
7. Offer regular opportunities for students to share ideas, evidence and research
8. Offer systematic instruction in vocabulary9. Provide explicit instruction in grammar
and conventions10. Cultivate students’ independence
-from ODE’s Department of ELA, 2011

Yet she knew Sethe’s greatest fear was the same one Denver had in the
beginning – that Beloved might leave. That before Sethe could make her
understand what it meant – what it took to drag the teeth of that saw under
the little chin; to feel the baby blood pump like oil in her hands; to hold her
face so her head would stay on; to squeeze her so she could absorb, still, the
death spasms that shot through that adored body, plump and sweet with life
– Beloved might leave. Leave before Sethe could make her realize that worse
than that – far worse – was what Baby Suggs died of, what Ella knew, what
Stamp saw and what made Paul D tremble. That anybody white could take
your whole self for anything that came to mind. Not just work, kill, or maim
you, but dirty you. Dirty you so bad you couldn’t like yourself anymore. Dirty
you so bad you forgot who you were and couldn’t think it up.
-from Beloved, Toni Morrison
![Page 28: Understanding the Common Core State Standards in ELA](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062316/568166f1550346895ddb4f47/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Final Thoughts
The Common Core does NOT:• Tell teachers HOW to teach• Tell all that can or should be taught• Focus on personal connections
The Common Core DOES:• Lift the level of teaching• Require close reading and evidence• needs to be socially supported, collaborative, motivating• the school learns how to learn together
![Page 29: Understanding the Common Core State Standards in ELA](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062316/568166f1550346895ddb4f47/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

What does Common Core mean for administrators?
• Professional Learning Communities within schools to deconstruct standards and create common rubrics
• School-wide literacy focus• Focus on all ELA standards, not just those
tested by current state tests• Systematic and explicit and authentic writing
instruction
![Page 31: Understanding the Common Core State Standards in ELA](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062316/568166f1550346895ddb4f47/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Literacy Focus – Summer Reading
• Summer reading loss – accounts for 80% of reading achievement gap by 9th grade
• Reading achievement gap is 4 years– Poor 12th graders equal to advantaged 8th gradersMost of this gap comes from summer reading (Hayes and Grether, 1983)Research shows that summer reading programs will close this gap (Borman and Dowling, 2007; Paris et al, 2004; McGill-Franzen et al, 2008)
![Page 32: Understanding the Common Core State Standards in ELA](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062316/568166f1550346895ddb4f47/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
• Research has also shown that simply access to books they can and want to read is just as effective as summer school (Arlington and McGril-Franzen, 2008; Krashen, 2004)
• 88 Generalizations About Voluntary Reading (Krashen): http://www.sdkrashen.com/handouts/88Generalizations/index.html
• Summer reading can contribute to 85% of reading gap• One study of 17 poor schools showed that spending
$45 per child on books for summer reading equaled summer school and doubled for the very poorest students
![Page 33: Understanding the Common Core State Standards in ELA](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062316/568166f1550346895ddb4f47/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
• The biggest hurdle to this is access to books• Even providing books with no support
significantly increases achievement
![Page 34: Understanding the Common Core State Standards in ELA](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062316/568166f1550346895ddb4f47/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Ways to Address this
• Book exchanges 2 or 3 times over the summer; return 5, get 5
• Open school libraries over the summer• Bookmobile• Book packs via Scholastic
![Page 35: Understanding the Common Core State Standards in ELA](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062316/568166f1550346895ddb4f47/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Writing: 6 Plus 1 Traits of Writing
• A systematic, coherent writing program K-8• Brand new• 20 years in development by Ruth Culham• Many teachers already familiar with this
approach• Aligned to CCSS:
