4. KEY CITERIA & PERFORMANCE SCALE Standard: LAFS.7.RL.1.1 & 7.RI.1.1: The student can cite several pieces of textual evidence to support analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text. Score Skill Level DescriptionSample Tasks 4 Advanced In addition to a score 3.0, in-depth inferences and applications that go beyond what was taught With Concept map, connect passages and analysis to universal concepts. In a written response, evaluate the overall impact/importance of each element and support with evidence and analysis. 3 Competent The student can Cite several pieces of textual evidence to support analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text. With Concept map, connect passages to universal concepts. In a written response, cite evidence to support analysis of what the text says explicitly and draw general inferences. 2 Limited The student can recognize or recall elements related to overarching concepts. However, the student exhibits errors regarding inferences related to abstract ideas. With Concept map, connect passages to universal concepts with help from peers. Cite evidence to support analysis of what the text says explicitly and make general inferences that may or may not be connected to the appropriate inferences. 1 Emerging With help, partial understanding of the task – citing evidence to support inferences. With Concept map, connect passages to universal concepts With guidance and scaffolding, identify universal concepts and cite explicit evidence to support universal ideas. Student struggles to make inferences related to universal concepts.

5. Why Concept Map? 0 Generate ideas 0 Make connections 0 Make an inference 0 Clarify relationships among ideas

6. It is similar to a mind map….

7. Concept Maps… Lines Symbols Color Images

8. Starting with the end in mind… 0 Writing Task due by Friday 0 Use details from 2 texts to support your answer. 0 Rubric – I am looking for YOUR INFERNCE, evidence to support YOUR INFERENCE, and ANALYSIS to support YOUR INFERENCE.

9. Step One: 0 Draw a shape in the middle of your paper. 0 Reflect on the many works the class has read and studied during our “Celebrating Black History” Unit 0 Short Stories “Doris is Coming” page 103 in Close Reader “Thank You Ma’am” p. 62 Red Literature book “Black Boy” by Richard Wright handout in binder 0 Poems Caged Bird – Maya Angelou (Yellow handout - binder) Dreams & Dreams Deferred - Langston Hughes (handout – binder) Swimming Hole – Mary Oliver (handout in binder) 0 Speech Speech from Democratic National Convention page 101 in Close Reader 0 Informational Texts “The Most Daring of Our Leaders” page 95 in Close Reader Nelson Mandela article (binder) Video Clips Caged Bird clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZzOxWAxde0 Freedom Riders: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1zBY6gkpbTg

10. Step 2: 0 Considering the work covered in this unit, how are they connected? Time to draw your own conclusion. 0 Write your conclusion, a phrase or a sentence, in your circle.

11. Step 3: 0 Time to make connections. 0 What titles support this connection. 0 From this branch, make more connections and continue until the idea runs dry. 0 Go back to the key phrase and make another connection. Explore until the ideas runs dry. 0 Map must have 4 branches.

12. Your task…. 0 Think - Take 2-3 minutes to gather information. 0 Pair – Take a five minutes to share with your partner; choose word/phrase for your concept map 0 Share – whole group questions, concerns, clarifications. 0 Connect – start the branching processes 0 Writing Task due by Friday 0 Use details from 2 texts to support your answer. 0 Rubric – I am looking for YOUR INFERNCE, evidence to support YOUR INFERENCE, and ANALYSIS to support YOUR INFERENCE.
