  2. Common Core ELA Standards • The standards devote as much attention on what students read, in terms of complexity, quality, and range, as they do on how students read. As students progress through the grades, they must both develop their comprehension skills and apply them to increasingly complex texts. • The progression of the standards is based on evidence and anchored in the college and career readiness (CCR) standards. The CCR standards define broad competencies and reading, writing, speaking, listening, and language while the K-12 standards lend further specificity by defining a developmentally appropriate progression of skills and understandings. • In order to prepare students for the challenges of college and career texts, the standards require a rich reading of literature as well as extensive reading in science, history/social studies, and other disciplines.

  3. Common Core Content • Students are required to learn certain critical content, including classic myths and stories from around the world, America’s Founding Documents, and foundational American literature. • Novels will be read in conjunction with historical documents, current news articles, and documentary films to add to the historical, social, and political contexts of the works • The standards also require that students systematically develop knowledge of literature as well as knowledge in other disciplines through reading, writing, speaking, and listening in history/social studies and science
