District of Columbia Puerto Rico Guam

Guiding Principles

• The Common Core State Standards identify what

students need to know and be able to do in each

grade level in order to be prepared for college and

career.

• Teachers will decide the

best way to teach their

students in order for them to

meet Common Core

expectations.

Goals of CCSS

Transform student learning

Transform instructional

practices

Transform assessments

College and Career Readiness

Design of the ELA Standards

• K-5 Reading Foundational Skills

• K-12 Reading, Writing, Speaking & Listening,

and Language

• 6-12 English Language Arts

• 6-12 Literacy in History/Social Studies,

Science and Technical Subjects

Backmapping- ELA Progression Across Grades

Anchor Standard 4: Interpret words and phrases as they are used in a text, including determining technical, connotative, and figurative meanings,

and analyze how specific word choices shape meaning or tone.

Anchor Standard 4 – Primary Grades

Kindergarten

Ask and answer questions about unknown words in a text.

Grade 1

Identify words and phrases in stories or poems that suggest feelings or appeal to the senses.

Grade 2

Describe how words and phrases (e.g., regular beats, alliteration, rhymes, repeated lines) supply rhythm and meaning in a story, poem, or song.

Anchor Standard 4 – Intermediate Grades

Grade 3 Determine the meaning of words and phrases as they are used in a text, distinguishing literal from nonliteral language. Grade 4 Determine the meaning of words and phrases as they are used in a text, including those that allude to significant characters found in mythology (e.g. Herculean). Grade 5 Determine the meaning of words and phrases as they are used in a text, including figurative language such as metaphors and similes.

Anchor Standard 4 – Middle School

Grade 6 Determine the meaning of words and phrases as they are used in a text, including figurative and connotative meanings; analyze the impact of a specific word choice on meaning and tone. Grade 7 Determine the meaning of words and phrases as they are used in a text, including figurative and connotative meanings; analyze the impact of rhymes and other repetitions of sounds (e.g., alliteration) on a specific verse or stanza of a poem or section of a story or drama. Grade 8 Determine the meaning of words and phrases as they are used in a text, including figurative and connotative meanings; analyze the impact of a specific word choice on meaning and tone, including analogies or allusions to other texts.

Anchor Standard 4 -High School

Grade 9-10 Determine the meaning of words and phrases as they are used in a text, including figurative and connotative meanings; analyze the cumulative impact of a specific word choice on meaning and tone (e.g., how the language evokes a sense of time and place; how it sets a formal or informal tone). Grade 11-12 Determine the meaning of words and phrases as they are used in a text, including figurative and connotative meanings; analyze the impact of a specific word choice on meaning and tone, including words with multiple meanings or language that is particularly fresh, engaging or beautiful (include Shakespeare as well as other authors).

Major Flows

Instructional Shifts in ELA

• Balance of fiction and non-fiction

• Gaining knowledge of the world through

non-fiction

• Text complexity

• Evidence-based conversation about text

• Writing from sources – departure from

narrative

• Vocabulary – everyone teaches reading

Instructional Shifts in Math

• Focus – greater depth, less breadth

• Coherence

• Rigor which requires:

Fluency – math facts

Deep conceptual understanding
