  8. FSA ELA Reading & Writing Possible Text Types

  9. ESSENTIAL INSTRUCTIONAL PRACTICES • The best preparation for FSA is to have our students read and grapple with complex texts on a daily basis. • This will help them develop the endurance and independence needed to achieve success on all standardized tests. • Newsela, ScienceDaily, FloridaStudents.org, & Khan Academy • Text dependent questions should inspire close and critical reading. • Students should be asking and answering their own and their teachers' moderate and complex questions (DOK 2 & DOK 3). • Emphasizing students supporting their answers based on evidence FROM THE TEXT. • If it’s not read in the text as evidence to support the answer, it’s not relevant to the question being asked. • Writing is a must! • Students must be defending their answers, showing greater understanding of concepts and detailed evidence from the text.

  10. THE NEW BOBCAT HIGH 5! • Chapter Walk-Through • Preview text features, make connections, predict, set purpose,and activate prior knowledge. • Graphic Organizers • Charts, diagrams, graphs, maps (with Summary Statement!) • Compare/contrast; cause/effect; process cycle diagram • Vocabulary • Routine event, scaffolding vocabulary in context; vocabulary notebook, V.I.S., etc. • Note-Taking • Class discussions and text-based; 2-column notes/Socratic Seminar • DOK 2 & 3 • DOK2: Summarize, estimate, organize, classify, extend, inferences • DOK3: Reasoning and providing relevant evidence from text; probe reasoning, open-ended questions, supporting claims, multiple approaches and solutions
