Deconstructing a Standard –Reading Standard for Informational Text 1Anchor Standard: 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.

Grade and Standard

K - With prompting and support, ask and answer questions about key details in a text.

1st - Ask and answer questions about key details in a text.

2nd - Ask and answer such questions as who, what, where, when, why, and how to demonstrate understanding of key details in a text.

Why the emphasis on tasks?

“What was different in the four classrooms was what students were actually being asked to do, and the degree to which the teacher was able to engage students in the work by scaffolding their learning up to the complexity of the task she was asking them to do.”

– Richard ElmoreRounds in Education. lizabeth A. City, Richard F. Elmore, Sarah E. Fiarman, and Lee Teitel

What Task? What Task? - - Section 1

The Core of the LDC Framework

29

Creating Rich Teaching Tasks• “… the basic components of a writing assignment or

prompt are: (a) the topic, (b) the audience, and the rhetorical structure or genre to be produced.”

• “A poorly designed writing prompt can result in student writing that does not meet the intended requirements of the teacher.”

• “The Literacy Design Collaborative (LDC) proposes that good writing prompts can be formulated using prefabricated task templates that allow the teacher to customize.”

Jury Draft Teaching Tasks

• Offer one compliment• Pose one question

59

•The text selection is critical!•Look for the perfect balance:

-reading level of students-complexity of text (demands on skills and stamina of reader)-background knowledge required for comprehension-sufficiency of content for writing task

•Keep Gradual Release in mind:-whole group-small group-independent

•Be sure text provides students with information needed to respond completely to the teaching task.•If an argumentation task, be sure the quantity and content of texts arent biased.More on text complexity tomorrow…

Choosing the Texts (and if desired, multi-media)

Creating an Overview

• Written to colleagues• Include who, what, when, where, why, how

This module sits inside a unit in which students study the Age of Revolution and the focus of the module is on the British Industrial Revolution. Students will draw on content studied during the unit and their readings of primary and secondary sources about the module topic to write an argumentative essay… 61

Creating the Background Section

• Written to the students• Include who, what, when, where, why, how

In this module you apply what you learned in the unit on the Age of Revolution to assess whether the achievements of the British Industrial Revolution outweighed the societal cost. You should draw on what you have learned in the unit and apply the reading, research, and writing skills you learned throughout the semester thus far.
