  1. Common Core andEssential Standards English/ Language Arts 6-12

  2. FOUR Strands 6-12 Reading Writing Speaking/Listening Language

  3. Reading Strand Key Ideas and Details 1. Read closely to determine what the text says explicitly and to make logical inferences from it; cite specific textual evidence when writing or speaking to support conclusions drawn from the text. 2. Determine central ideas or themes of a text and analyze their development; summarize the key supporting details and ideas. 3. Analyze how and why individuals, events, and ideas develop and interact over the course of a text.

  4. ELA 6-12 The following Standardsoffer a focus for instruction each year and help ensure that students gain adequate exposure to a range of texts and tasks. Rigor is also infused through the requirement that students read increasingly complex texts through the grades.

  5. Examples of a Cluster: Key Ideas and Details 6thGrade: Determine a theme or central idea of a text and how it is conveyed through particular details; provide a summary of the text distinct from personal opinions or judgments. 7th Grade: 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. 8th Grade: Determine a theme or central idea of a text and analyze its development over the course of the text, including its relationship to the characters, setting, and plot; provide an objective summary of the text.

  6. Examples of a Cluster:Key Ideas and Details 9th and 10th: Determine a theme or central idea of a text and analyze in detail its development over the course of the text, including how it emerges and is shaped and refined by specific details; provide an objective summary of the text. 11th and 12th: Determine two or more themes or central ideas of a text and analyze their development over the course of the text, including how they interact and build on one another to produce a complex account; provide an objective summary of the text.

  7. Example of Close Reading- Informational Text Analyze seminal U.S. documents of historical and literary significance (e.g.,Washington’sFarewell Address, the Gettysburg Address, Roosevelt’s Four Freedoms speech, King’s “Letter from Birmingham Jail”),including how they address related themes and concepts. Amount of Informational Text to be read during a school day: Grades 6-8: 50% Grades 9- 12: 70% This includes ALL classes!

  8. Letter from a Birmingham Jail

  9. Points to Ponder “Middle and high school teachers deal with over a hundred students in a day, and they base their assignments on the assumption that the students can read and react to the text.” - Heidi Hayes Jacobs Active Literacy Across the Curriculum “Students don’t think reading is important because they can’t do it themselves.” - Rebecca Brown, English AP Instructor AP English Teacher for 38 years

  10. So what do I do now? Begin looking at The Common Core and Essential Standards. Look specifically at Crosswalks for your area. Look at Unpacking the Standards. Look at Appendixes for the ELA Standards-excellent lists of texts for each grade and writing samples. Review Curriculum Mapping*. As you plan new units,try using the Curriculum Mapping Template provided. Begin thinking about the lesson plans you want to keep, the ones you want to revise and the ones that you may want to eliminate over time. Share and encourage others as you plan!
