  7. Sharing Our Hopes and Fears What are your hopes and fears for implementing Common Core ELA standards and Common Core Lit for Science standards?

  8. Exploring CCSS & informational text Lauren Lunsford, PhD Kate McGowan, M.A.T.

  9. Exploring CCSS 6-12 ELA • In Home Group, jigsaw Linder text UNDERSTAND pages ,using Headlines thinking routine • Use the G.O. to identify the HEADLINE for each chapter. Within your home group, split the chapters and quickly read each UNDERSTAND page for each, then write a HEADLINE that captures a summary, key thoughts, or impressions regarding the text.

  10. How does this relate to CCSS Lit for Science Standards?

  11. Exploring Informational Text Using Laura Robb’s Unlocking Complex Texts

  12. Laura Robb’s Framework for Exploring Informational Text • 3 parts • Identifying multiple texts for each unit • Accounts for differentiation needs • Uses text complexity grids, lexiles

  13. Three Part Instructional Framework • Teacher Modeling • Reading and thinking aloud • Modeling • Build vocabulary with concept maps • Model close reading • Start discussions • Student Collaborative Practice • Add to concept maps • Close read and reread • Engage in discussions • Independent Student Work • Close read and reread • Write summaries • Create word maps • Receive scaffolding if needed

  14. Identifying Multiple Texts for each Unit • 1 anchor text for teacher modeling • 1 grade-level text for guided practice • 1 below-level text for guided practice • 1 grade-level text for independent practice and assessment • 1 below-level text for independent practice and assessment

  15. When Students Can’t Comprehend Independently • Read aloud the below-grade-level text • Work on close reading of difficult words • Model how to figure out meanings, increasing responsibility to students gradually • Have partners discuss the text and help them find the parts of text that support their thoughts • Facilitate independent reading – at 99-100% accuracy

  16. Identifying Complex Texts • What are the demands of the text? • Knowledge demands • Author’s purpose • Meaning • Text Structure • Language/vocabular • Concepts • Inferential thinking demands • Lexile levels • Exploring Complex Texts

  17. Work within your home team to explore Robb’s texts on the included DVD. Identify at least two passages your students could use.
