LEVELS OF RIGOR:
9
RECALL CONCEPT STRATEGIC THINKING EXTENDED THINKING
10
RIGOR: Rigor is not an attribute of a text but rather a characteristic of our behavior with a text. Rigor resides in the energy and attention given to a text.
11
The CCSS promotes a “thinking curriculum”. The national standards place a strong emphasis on students reading more complex texts with higher levels of comprehension and greater independence. They are NOT about taking a personal stance.
12
CCSS: Speaking & Listening To build a foundation for college and career readiness, students must have ample opportunities to take part in a variety of rich, structured conversations—as part of a whole class, in small groups, and with a partner. Being productive members of these conversations requires that students contribute accurate, relevant information; respond to and develop what others have said; make comparisons and contrasts; and analyze and synthesize a multitude of ideas in various domains.
13
COMPREHENSION AND COLLABORATION SL.1 SL.1 SL.1 Prepare for and participate effectively in a range of conversations and collaborations with diverse partners, building on others’ ideas and expressing their own clearly and persuasively. SL.2SL.2 Integrate and evaluate information presented in diverse media and formats, including visually, quantitatively, and orally. SL.3SL.3 Evaluate a speaker’s point of view, reasoning, and use of evidence and rhetoric.
14
PRESENTATION OF KNOWLEDGE AND IDEAS SL.4SL.4 Present information, findings, and supporting evidence such that listeners can follow the line of reasoning and the organization, development, and style are appropriate to task, purpose, and audience. SL.5SL.5 Make strategic use of digital media and visual displays of data to express information and enhance understanding of presentations. SL.6SL.6 Adapt speech to a variety of contexts and communicative tasks, demonstrating command of formal English when indicated or appropriate.

FOUR CORNERS OF THE TEXT HOW DOES THE TEXT SAY IT? WHAT DOES THE TEXT SAY? WHAT DOES THE TEXT MEAN? WHAT DOES THE TEXT MEAN TO ME?

41
4. INFERENTIAL ~ Interpretation LEARNER ACTION QUESTION STEMS Analyze Apply concepts Connect Create Design Prove Synthesize State a thesis, drawing conclusions from multiple sources. Gather information to develop alternative explanations for a conclusion. Apply information from one text to another text to develop a persuasive argument. Compare and contrast two point of views on the same subject. Analyze the author’s craft. (e.g., style, bias, literary techniques, point of view) EXTENDED THINKING
42
ANCHOR CHARTS TO SUPPORT NON-FICTION WHAT’S THE GOAL? WHAT’S THE LANGUAGE?

54
Word Ladders to Support Academic Vocabulary
55
Teaching NF in Text Sets Meeting Demands of the STANDARDS TESTS (compare/contrast) LIFE SKILL NF most popular reading Nf we are reading has a point of view – asking us to take what it is giving us, we need to think critically to be empowered to interpret what we are reading WHAT IS TRUTH/WHAT IS NOT What are the biases that are inside NF texts Makes it possible to teach higher level thinking skills It invites NF bookclubs in a doable way, they can read text sets and switch
56
Primary Read Aloud
57
Cross genre text sets
58
READ ALOUD TURN AND TALK SMALL GROUPS BOOK CLUBS
59
READ ALOUD Read alouds match the genre the class is studying Clubs sit together during the read aloud Encourage students to rely on conversational prompts to support standards Assess conversational prompts and change them in light of new information Encourage students to compare their book club books to the read alouds
60
Book Club Logistics of reading in clubs Work on reading skills-not only talk and management Time to linger with texts and look across them Support ideas with text evidence from across a text and multiple sources Children share and reflect on what they learned when the unit is over
62
Whole Class Conversation What does it look like? What does it sound like? How can you collect data about it?
63
What does this look like? Example
64
CLOSE READING ~ THE NEW BUZZ WORD WHAT IS IT? WHY SHOULD WE DO IT? HOW DO WE DO IT?
