- 27. EQ:
- 28. CLOSE READING, COMPLEX TEXT & EVIDENCE BASED CLAIMS
- 29. From Appendix A: Being able to read complex text independently and proficiently is essential for high achievement in college and the workplace and important in numerous life tasks. Moreover, current trends suggest that if students cannot read challenging texts with understanding—if they have not developed the skill, concentration, and stamina to read such texts—they will read less in general. In particular, if students cannot read complex expository text… they will likely turn to text-free or text-light sources, such as video, podcasts, and tweets. These sources, while not without value, cannot capture the nuance, subtlety, depth, or breadth of ideas developed through complex text.

- 44. Start with Content • Think about a content area you would like to plan a CCSS aligned unit for? • What would you like you student to know or be able to do…at the end of the unit?
- 45. Early American Movers and Shakers… • If your mover or shaker were alive today, what would their “Vanity Plate” read? • What would their resume look like? Prepare a resume for your mover or shaker and be prepared to interview for a job. Susan B. Anthony Herman Melville Sojourner Truth William Lloyd Garrison Vanderbilt

Editor's Notes
- What worked 50 years ago, does not work today.
- These shifts “layer” on top of the standards. We cannot just talk about the standards or just shifts… they are WOVEN Become familiar to be a building leader.
- Gap analysis…To ignore one is to ignore half of the Common Core. Get to know content, embrace the pedagogy shift. “To treat CCSS as the same thing, is doing a disservice to your students.”
- Ultimate Cliff’s Notes on the CCSS. Pedagogy verbs… Create a bookmark, or visit my blog and get the pre-printed bookmark that you could place in teachers mailboxes -- handout…
- Oral sentences are usually less than 7 words, with 1 single idea, grammar ill, Written sentences are usually 15-25 words long, complex and grammar precise.
- Dilemma.. If we want kids to learn, we have to give them texts they can understand. BUT – I few restrict texts to understanding, they already know the words and we deny them the opportunity to learn new words.
- Value words …words = power words = money empowerment
- Transliteracy will not build Dr., lawyers, actuaries, engineers, accountants, and other people who will achieve, invent, solve, etc .
- Love word clouds. Kids love them…. “A picture’s worth 1000 words…” Look at these clouds for 10 seconds-- Now… look at them and tell me in the chat box, what “library lingo” do you see there? -- Reading for meaning… Try again -- . What higher level Bloom’s words do you see? (PURPOSEFUL reading vs. reading) Did you read differently? Deeply? …”i.e. Shift 1:
- I read it but I don’t get it….
- Inquiry promotes student “ownership” – which makes it relevant to their lives. When they are allowed to ask their own questions, they “own” the investigation and they usually ask “relevant” questions to their life.
- Relevance shift in the pedagogy… Away from recall relevance
- 99 Essential Question examples
- What are ways to engage?
- Visually infested generation… needs to strengthen the auditory modality. READ – The CASE of the MISSING Diamond.
