  3. Essential Questions: • Reading and Writing standards: • What is the value in defining literacy standards for focus in each quarter? • DCA Assessment: • Where should writing and reading reside within DCA rubrics and what weight should they have? • To what extent should target literacy skills (reading and writing) remain unchanged from rubric to rubric?

  6. Challenge: Writing to Understand: "As long as the reason of man continues fallible, and he is at liberty to exercise it, different opinions will be formed. As long as the connection subsists between his reason and his self-love, his opinions and his passions will have a reciprocal influence on each other; and the former will be objects to which the latter will attach themselves. The diversity in the faculties of men, from which the rights of property originate, is not less an insuperable obstacle to a uniformity of interests. The protection of these faculties is the first object of government. From the protection of different and unequal faculties of acquiring property, the possession of different degrees and kinds of property immediately results; and from the influence of these on the sentiments and views of the respective proprietors, ensues a division of the society into different interests and parties." --James Madison’s The Federalist Papers

  7. CCR W10—Desired Transfer CCR 10. 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 tasks, purposes, and audiences. • CCSS for English/Language Arts & Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects, p. 63

  8. Writing Expect students to compose arguments and opinionsand informative/explanatory pieces Focus on the use of reason and cite evidence to substantiate an argument or claim Emphasize ability to conduct research – short projects and sustained inquiry Require students to incorporate technology as they create, refine, and collaborate on writing Include student writing samples that illustrate the criteria required to meet the standards (See Appendix C for writing samples)

  9. Breaking down the standards: Red=verb=Skill or Understanding Blue=Noun=Knowledge Green=qualifier=Criteria for performance CCR 2. Writeinformative/explanatory texts to examine and conveycomplexideas and information clearly and accurately through the effective selection, organization, and analysis of content.

  10. Example - Common Core - Writing W.1-Write arguments to support claims in an analysis of substantive topics or texts, using valid reasoning and relevant and sufficient evidence. Underline the nouns, circle the verbs, and place parenthesis around modifiers.
