3. Common Core Standards allow
teachers to be creative, for example:

4. Science Standard: CCSS.ELA-Literacy. RST. 6-8.4. Determine the meaning
of symbols, key terms, and other domain-specific words and phrases as
they are used in a specific scientific or technical context relevant to
grades 6 – 8 texts and topics.

5. The teacher has the option to choose
their text to teach science content

6. The teacher has the option for how
the content is delivered

7. The Standards require the teacher to:

8. • Make meanings of scientific symbols
• Understand key terms of the content
• Other words related to the content domain
• Scientific phrases used in the content

at a time

10. Give information in 3 – 5 minute
lectures, readings, etc.

activity with what you’ve just
