Essential Questions
Have you ever driven a stick shift?
How does it differ from driving an automatic?
Talk with a neighbor and be ready to share.
An Analogy
What is different about CCGPS in ELA?
Read the shifts. Identify those that you do not often see
in your school classrooms. Make marginal notes of examples you
have observed during classroom visits. Be ready to share.
Shifts
If these behaviors are not in evidence in a school, the teachers and students have not begun to make the required shifts.
The Point!
How rigorous is rigorous? Examine each example of text and task. Mark evidence of any CCGPS shifts. Be ready to share.
