Module 3Teaching the Common Core
through an Integrated Planning Approach
What are our thoughts about work?
Poem- Digging• What lines or sections stood out to you?• What is the author’s opinion of work?
• http://www.poetryfoundation.org/search/?q=Digging• What are you thinking now after listening to the poem being
read?
Informational Reading• Malcolm Gladwell, in Outliers, reminds us that one
of our jobs is to teach students to work hard—that is the key to extraordinary success. So here, you’ll begin by showing students how to approach a text in a serious, intellectual manner.
Objectives• Become more familiar with the
CCSS Reading Standards for Literature & Informational Texts
• Understand how the close reading of informational text supports deeper comprehension
• Understand the skills a reader needs to process informational texts
• Become familiar with scaffolds to further develop academic conversations
NormsRespect for all
perspectives
Active listening and participation
Maintain a positive outlook and attitude
Proactive problem solving
Assumption of positive intent
Whittier City School District’s Instructional Focus
Developing deep comprehension and interpretive skills using literature and informational text, with an implicit focus on informational text and expository
writing
Close Reading Text based discussions
Constructed Response/Text
Dependent Questions
Building knowledge through
content-rich nonfiction, informational texts and
literature
Instructional Shifts
Reading and writing grounded in
evidence
Rich and rigorous conversations, dependent on common text
Instructional Strategies
Examining StandardsSort the Reading Literature & Informational Text Standards• Closed Sort: Resort the standards into two
categories: Reading Literature and Reading InformationalWithin each of the above categories, sort into clusters:
Key Ideas and Details, Craft and Structure, Integration of Knowledge and Ideas, Range of Reading and Text Complexity
Discussion: What stood out to you after examining the Reading Informational Standards?How do the Reading Literature Standards support the Reading Information Standards?
Essentials of Reading Instruction

Informational Text Tool
Informational Reading Unit of Study
Previewing the Text • What text features do I notice? (pictures, headings, charts, captions )• What do they tell me?• What do I think this text will be about?
Activating Background Knowledge & Setting a purpose • What do I already know about the topic?• What might I read to find out?
Activating Knowledge of Text Structure (Boxes and Bullets)• What do I know about how informational texts are structured?• How is this text organized?
Making a plan for reading• Where will I start reading?
Before Reading Strategies
Informational Reading Unit of Study
Self-Monitoring for Meaning: • Coding the text• Summarizing• What did I just read?
• Questioning• What is confusing? • What am I wondering?
• Envisioning• What am I envisioning? (see, hear, touch, smell, feel)
• Main Idea/topic & Supporting Details: • What is the main idea/topic?• What details support the main idea/topic?
During Reading Strategies
Informational Reading Unit of Study
• Determining Important Details (Throughout Reading)• What is this whole text mostly about?• What is important to remember after reading this text?
• Synthesizing• What do I think now after reading this text?
• I used to think ______ but now I think__________• Do I agree with the author?• What is the Big/Central Idea?• How does this fit with other information on the same
topic?
After Reading Strategies
Professional Reading
Points of EntryBy Nancy Frey and Douglas Fisher
Interactive StructuresInteractive Structure Options• Whip Around• Heads Together• Talking Stick/ Talking Chips• Think, Pair, Share• Think, Write, Pair, Share• Partner work• Quick WriteWhat structures have you used?How have they increased student engagement and allowed you to check for understanding?
Examine A TextAs a Team:• Read the selection• Summarize the selection • What is the text mainly about?• What are the main ideas?
First ReadThe GOAL of the first read is for students to have a general understanding of what the text is about
Planning For The First Read
Decide what information must be frontloaded• If informational text is not connected to prior learning,
provide limited background informationDecide what vocabulary needs to be clarified• Informational text will have academic vocabulary that
students should be allowed to struggle throughDecide how the text will be read• Read Aloud, Whisper Read, Choral Read, Partner Read,
Independent Read
*This will depend on the complexity of the text and time of year and grade level.
Before First Read of Informational Text
Preview the text • What text features do I notice? (pictures, headings,
charts, captions )• What do they tell me?• What do I think this text will be about?
Activating Background Knowledge & Setting a purpose • What do I already know about the topic?• What might I read to find out?
Students share• This text will be about……• I think I will learn about….
Practicing the First Read
Read the entire selection Frontload information if necessaryStop only to define key vocabulary words that
cannot be defined in context and may interfere with meaning
Students Annotate: What was confusing? What do you wonder about?
Students share • I’m confused about _______ because…..• I wonder about …….
Students Summarize the text• This text is mainly about….
Planning For The First Read
Determine the Central Ideas after reading the Text• Young people can make a difference in the world• Education is not a right in other parts of the
world• One voice can make a difference• Standing up for what you believe can be
dangerous, even deadly
Examining the StandardsWhat standards seem to be most suited for this text?
Planning For Close Reading
Chunk the text into Pivotal PassagesWhat sections merit a second read?• Important and interesting sections or parts• Sections that include different ideas or information• Complex information; various structures within a
paragraph• Lengthy and substantial information
Planning For Close Reading
Determine Understanding to be DevelopedWhat do we want students to understand after
reading this section of the text?What idea is essential for them to understand?
Test your Understanding to be developed• Does it capture the main idea? • Can it be supported with details from the Pivotal
Passage?• Does is support the Central Idea/s?
Understanding To Be DevelopedTaliban’s presence changed people’s lives in Pakistan
Planning For Close Reading
Develop Text Based Questions• Draft questions that will help students get
to the understanding that needs to be developed• Ensure questions lead students back to the
text and support discussion
Pivotal Passage #1Understanding To Be Developed:Taliban’s presence changed people’s lives in PakistanText Based Questions• What is this section of the article mainly about? (TPS)• What are we learning about the Taliban? (TPS)• What does the author want readers to know about
Islam? (HT)• Based on the article what does the word Democracy
mean? (QW)• What is the tone of the article? (TPS)• Why does the author start with 2012 and later refer to
2007? What does this tell us about how the reporter tells the story? (HT)
• What does the author want us to know about Mingora a city in Swatt Valley? (TPS)
Planning For Close Reading
Develop an Enduring Question• Are questions students could think about
and discuss while reading the text that help them uncover the Central Idea
• This is the last question asked after each pivotal passage to build up to the culminating question
Practicing Close Reading
Enduring Question• What is the author’s point of view of Power?
Let’s PracticeWith your table partner:• Read the second pivotal passage • Script the understanding that you want students to
develop after reading this section• Share with your table and share out to the group
Planning for Close ReadingDetermine Understanding to be DevelopedWhat do we want students to understand after reading
this section of the text?What idea is essential for them to understand?
Test your Understanding to be developed• Does it capture an idea that can be supported in the whole
section?• Does is support the Central Idea/s
Determine Understanding to be Developed for Pivotal Passage #2 Fear can cause people to give up their freedom
Let’s Practice Close Reading
Understanding to be Developed for Pivotal Passage #2 Fear can cause people to give up their freedomText Based Questions for Pivotal Passage #2• What does the author want us to know about schools in
Pakistan? (TPS)• How does Malala and her family respond to the Taliban’s
orders?(TPS)• How did other citizens respond to the Taliban? Why is this
important to report? (HT)• How do other citizens respond to Malala’s actions? (HT)• How does the photo and caption support what we just read
about Malala? (TPS)• What are we learning about the Pakistani government?
(TPS)• What role did the government play during this time? (TPS)
Planning For Close Reading
Develop a culminating question for discussion and constructed response• This question will be asked to engage the
class in an extended discussion about the Main/Central idea• Students will also answer this question in
writing (constructed response)
Let’s Practice• Culminating Question for discussion and constructed response
Why does the author title the article “Malala the Powerful”? Do you think this is an appropriate title? Explain your answer.
How to Answer a Constructed Response
Question1. Read the question at least 2x2. Start your sentence by answering the question• What does the Author want reader’s to know about the Amazon
Frog?• The author wants readers to know that Amazon Frogs are
dangerous predators. 3. Next add a few examples from the text to support
your sentence. • Start by writing…..For example, an Amazon frog will try to eat
just about anything, it will even try eating animals that are bigger than itself. The author also wrote that the tadpoles attack each other and other tadpoles. Another idea the author wants readers to know is that Amazon Frogs have horns that help them hide in the forest as they wait for their prey.
4. Conclude with a final statement• Overall, Amazon Frogs are fearless predators that you don’t want
to stand next to in the rainforest.

Examining The Common Core Standards
Listening and Speaking Standards • Look at Standard 1 Comprehension and
Collaboration• What work have we done already to address this
standard?• What are our next steps?
Teach the behaviors partners
demonstrate
Teach strategies partners use
• Look at each other• Listen to each other
carefully• Lean in closely• Take turns(A&B)(B&A)
• Lean in closely to hear
• Ask a partner to speak up when they cannot hear
• They say things like, “Now it’s your turn.” “What do you think?”
Ways to Listen & Grow IdeasClarifyingWhat do you mean by…?

Rich and Rigorous Conversations
What Is Our Ongoing Role In Developing Student
Partnerships?Teach: Model or Fish-BowlObserve: Are students….Coach: Try this…Say this..(whisper in )Give Feedback: Today I saw…I noticed…
Next Steps• Schedule a time to teach the lessons and debrief the
process• Teach Discussion Stems• Review the grade level planning tool for close reading
with your team & try it out• Bring artifacts (charts, student work samples, videos,
pictures, notes)
