The CCSS Requires Three Shifts in ELA/Literacy1. Building knowledge through content-

rich nonfiction (50/50)2. Reading, writing and speaking grounded

in evidence from text, both literary and informational

3. Regular practice with complex text and its academic language

ELA

TEXT DEPENDENT QUESTIONSELA

o In “Casey at the Bat,” Casey strikes out. Describe a time when you failed at something.

o In “Letter from a Birmingham Jail,” Dr. King discusses nonviolent protest. Discuss, in writing, a time when you wanted to fight against something that you felt was unfair.

o In “The Gettysburg Address” Lincoln says the nation is dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Why is equality an important value to promote?

What makes Casey’s experiences at bat humorous?

What can you infer from King’s letter about the letter that he received?

“The Gettysburg Address” mentions the year 1776. According to Lincoln’s speech, why is this year significant to the events described in the speech?

Not Text-Dependent (Non examples) Text-Dependent (Examples)

Text-Dependent Questions...• Can only be answered with evidence from the

text.• Can be literal (checking for understanding) but

must also involve analysis, synthesis, evaluation.• Focus on word, sentence, and paragraph, as well

as larger ideas, themes, or events.• Focus on difficult portions of text in order to

enhance reading proficiency.• Can also include prompts for writing and

discussion questions.

ELA

TDQ Task – Think, Pair, Share

Using the book The Memory String by Eve Bunting, plan some examples of text dependent questions in your group and share.

ELA

Academic Vocabulary

ELA

Choosing Words to TeachThree Tiers of Words

Tier 1 – most basic words of oral language and rarely require instructional attention (80% of text)

Tier 2 – Words that are more sophisticated and used often across disciplines

Tier 3 – words that are very rare or apply to specific domains

ELA

Rubric – Criteria to determine which words to teach:

Students are likely to see the word often in other texts and across domains.

The word will be useful in students’ writing.

The word relates to other words or ideas that the students know or have been learning.

Word choice has significance in the text.

The context does not provide enough information for students to infer the meaning of the word.

Word is less likely to be learned independently

ELA

With your group, read the short story Courage. Write down the Tier II words that you come across. Using the Tier 2 rubric decide whether these words are worthy, need to be told, or should not be addressed.

Tier 2 Vocabulary - Think, Pair, Share

Rich and Worthy TextsText selection is critical! The text is the focus of the

instruction

From texts, students gain knowledge about the world and how to express themselves

Choose text purposefully based on what we want out students to learn

CCSS Flipchart (ELA &Math)Notebook contentsScope and Sequence guideLiteracy PlanWriting Plan and Portfolio

Writing Workshop Folder You can use the blue folder for this if you wish

or you can buy your own Should include these pieces (at least):

“Words I’m Learning” “Writing Topics” “My Finished Writing”

Writing should be done across the curriculum and should be scored based on several samples

One exemplar piece from each type of writing (narrative, opinion, informational) should go in the K-5 portfolio at the end of the year (all others sent home with student).

Concept Units for 2nd Grade

**This is only a suggestion

Possible Units for the year: Relationship Unit

Culture/Location Unit

Influence Unit

Change Unit

UNIT PLANNING

Relationship Unit Human relationships Environmental relationships Establishing classroom rules/norms Communicating and working well with others ELA- Relationships of Characters, settings, etc. Science: Sound- Relationship between sound and

vibrating objects Social Studies: History (family), Community,

Government, Environment Consumer/producer Healthful Living: Healthy relationships, Emotions

UNIT PLANNING

Culture/Location Unit How, where, why people settle (i.e., geography,

industry) ELA- Fables and folktales, Character points of view,

compare and contrast different versions of the same story, etc.

versa), how the setting can influence the story, etc. Science- States of Matter: Temperature influences

and why Science- Life Cycles, Evolution & Genetics Social Studies- History, Geography (community),

Environment, Needs/Wants, Government Healthful Living- Continue learning about healthy

choices and how they influence and CHANGE our quality of life (CARE is also taking place during this time to reinforce this concept)

UNIT PLANNING

The 3 Phases (Structure of Knowledge)

All units can be designed around these 3 Phases: (Each phase would take several weeks)

Phase 1- People: How does the concept you are teaching relate to people? This is a good place to start to give students a more concrete understanding and make it relevant to their own lives.

Phase 2- Past and Present: How does the concept look in relation to the past and the present. This allows you to incorporate history, as well as the other Social Studies Standards

Phase 3- World around us: This last phase enhances global awareness and 21st century skills. It allows students to connect the concept to the world around them. This is an excellent phase to introduce the science standard t related to the concept that is being explored.

UNIT PLANNING

2nd Grade Relationship Unit

Starting with the StandardsDetermined which standards from ALL subject areas correlate with the Concept of Relationships

Relationship Standards

UNIT PLANNING

Phases Using the standards, we mapped out 3

phases in which to introduce and explore the concept of relationships:

Phase 1: Relationships among PeoplePhase 2: Relationships Past and PresentPhase 3: Relationships In the world around

us

UNIT PLANNING

Performance Tasks/Assessments

How will I assess what my students know at the end of each phase?

Phase 1: People, Relationships, Community, etc. Opinion Writing on a law created by the student

Phase 2: Past and Present- Family history Personal Time Line & Narrative Story

Phase 3: World around us- Environment/ScienceMusical instrument made from recycled materials

UNIT PLANNING

Pacing the Unit Use Performance Tasks/Assessments to

decide what you want students to be able to understand about relationships.

Break down the phases into a few weeks to plan WHAT your students will learn during that time.

Create your day-to-day plans as to HOW students will learn the content.
