  15. Crosswalks

  16. Curriculum Maps What is the link between the Regional Curriculum document and my units of instruction?

  17. Instructional Implications • Balanced Literacy Framework • Complex text used in whole group minilesson (10-15 minutes) • Students’ individual needs met in small group instruction (with instructional-level text) • Time to grapple with text independently • Writing tasks may be created to respond to and use evidence from the complex text (following class discussion) • Class discussion focused on text-dependent questions

  18. Instructional Implications • 6 shifts • Balance literature and informational text • Literacy in the content areas • Staircase of complexity • Text-dependent questions • Writing from sources • Academic vocabulary

  19. Staircase of Complexity *Lexile range for 6th-8th grade is 925-1185* Texts chosen should fall in that range with increasing complexity over the school year.

  20. Next Steps • Review your specific curriculum map(s) • Begin to identify resources using Lexiles • CC-aligned units of instruction • Share units • Adjust current units • Write new units • Link in Atlas (?)
