California’s Common CoreContent Standards forEnglish Language Arts
&Literacy in History/Social Studies,Science, and Technical Subjects
Essential Question What can be uncovered by tracing standards and unpacking assessments to help us re-imagine ELA/Literacy instruction in the Common Core?
We will respond to this by: * Exercising the 4 Cs (communicate, collaborate, create, critically think)
* Tracing ELA standards
* Unpacking content & language demands of sample assessment items
* Establishing key points for a "common message" in ELA to share with district, site, and classroom leaders

Standards Trace
• Look at the Anchor Standard
• Trace the progression by highlighting the incremental changes, K-12.

What things do you notice as you trace the progression?

Looking back:
How are literacy and content interwoven?
Language Demands? Reading multiple connected paragraphs-- navigating the structure of expository text
Content Demands? “American Dream,” using context to access word meaning, sentence structure, sequencing, perspective, written directions
Language Demands? Extensive reading…writing to inform and to reflect…
Content Demands? Connecting related texts, note-taking, synthesis, essay, research, profiling, “American Dream,” perspective, organizing/planning, commentary
Language Demands? Extensive reading
Content Demands? Understand and make arguments, making connections, accessing a variety of text formats, text complexity
Language Demands? Extensive reading…writing to inform and to reflect…
Content Demands? Deep comprehension (implicit and explicit messages), perspective, historical context, making judgments about credibility, connecting related texts, note-taking, citing text
Language Demands? Extensive reading of complex texts
Pair-Share: What language and content demands can you see embedded here?
Language Demands? Extensive reading, speaking with peers, writing to inform…
Content Demands? Interview, research, collaboration, writing, revision
Your Turn• Number off
• Form groups of like numbers
• Read & discuss your assessment item
• “Unpack” the sample item
• Chart and be prepared to present:– Language demands– Content demands– Other things you notice– Implications for instruction

Responding to the Essential Question
26
What can be uncovered by tracing standards and unpacking assessments to help us re-imagine ELA/Literacy instruction in the Common Core?
27
1. What did we discover about ELA/Literacy in the CCCSS?
2. What are the implications for instruction?
3. What common messages should we be sharing with our schools (site/district/classroom leaders)?
When? How?
Common Message
