Purpose & Agenda • Purpose • Provide information on text-dependent writing and provide time for teacher planning and collaboration • Agenda
Text-Dependent Writing Text-dependent writing is writing that “can only be completed by referring back to the specific text read… [and] does not rely on any particular background information extraneous to the text nor depend on students having other experiences or knowledge; instead it privileges the text itself and what students can extract from what is before them” ( www.acheivethecore.com)
The “WHY” • Close Reading • “When students are not required to use the information from the text in subsequent tasks, they often forget what they’ve read. Or worse, they learn that reading isn’t that important and that they can complete the requirements for a class without really doing the readings” (Fisher & Frey, 2012, p. 126) • CC Anchor Standards • CCR Anchor Standard 4: Produce clear and coherent writing in which the development, organization, and style are appropriate to task, purpose and audience. • CCR Anchor Standard 5: Develop and strengthen writing as needed by planning, revising, editing, rewriting, or trying a new approach. • CCR Anchor Standard 9: Draw evidence from literary or informational texts to support analysis, reflection, and research. • CCR Anchor Standard 10: Write routinely extended time frames and shorter time frames for a range of tasks, purposes, and audiences.
