Writing

▪Demonstrate independence.

▪ Build strong content knowledge.

▪ Respond to varying demands of audience, task, purpose, and discipline.

▪ Comprehend as well as critique.

▪ Value evidence.

▪ Use technology and digital media strategically and capably.

▪ Come to understand other perspectives and cultures.

Big Ideas from the writers of the ELA CCSS David Coleman & Sue Pimentel

Students should be able to –

● closely read complex texts,

● evaluate and gather evidence, and

● integrate information into clear, coherent writing that demonstrates critical thinking.

HCS implements the CCSS in Reading:

Fundations Second Edition

Close Reading Strategies

Complex Text

Building Stamina

Reading & Writing: Informational Texts & Short Research Projects

More work with informational texts…..

Data linked to measurement or number concepts

1. Make sense of complex problems and persevere in solving them.

2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively.3. Construct viable arguments and critique the

reasoning of others. 4. Model with mathematics. 5. Use appropriate tools strategically.6. Attend to precision.7. Look for and make use of structure. 8. Look for and express regularity in repeated

reasoning.

Private Reasoning Time:● Considering what we’ve shared

about the Common Core Standards, think about what skills and strategies were necessary to complete these task(s)?

Listen and Compare● Partner B shares first● Partner A shares second● How are the ideas you shared

the same and different?

THANK YOU … for your

partnership and support…as we implement the CCSS together!
