- 48. Oral vs. Written (Adams) Oral language : <7 words 1 idea Poor grammar Written text: usually 15-25 words, complex ideas, good syntax
- 49. Research of the CCSSO Marilyn Jager Rand Oral language = 4th grade ~ 10,000 Number of words in popular written = 1,000,000. The fastest way to grow language is via written form… i.e. READING

- 57. OK. So how do we…
- 60. NOT just to read… Content Delivery and Understanding Digest & Discovery Debate or Discussion
- 61. Use precise words Speak with authority Cool words to empower your writing
- 62. 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.
- 63. = Complex Text Uncommon words (Tier 2 & 3) Prior knowledge requirements Long, Complicated sentences Cross-references between sentences M. Adams, PhD.
- 64. Essential understandings: Reading is not passive Not all Close Reads have to look alike! Close Reads can be: primary sources, excerpts, articles, short books & more It’s all about the kids… Building Blocks
- 66. What’s the gist? What’s the Purpose? Perspective Visualize Read with a pencil Vocabulary Connections to real life Space for debate & critique Mining for meaning Find 3 VIP’s
- 67. Close Reading Activity: & Evidence Based Claim Read: Increasing the Volume of Reading, NYSED and find 3 VIP’s. Using the EBC Organizer, make a claim, supported by evidence from the text. Discuss at your table
- 70. Complex Text & Rigorous Books What‟s this all about? The more you read about [DNA], the more you can read about [DNA]. The more you read about [dinosaurs], The more you can read about [dinosaurs]. See Appendix A studies by Marilyn Jager Adams.
- 71. Speaking & Listening Standards SL.6.1 Engage effectively expressing their own ideas clearly. SL.6.2 Interpret information presented in diverse media and formats SL.6.3 Delineate a speaker’s argument and specific claims, distinguishing claims that are supported by reasons and evidence from claims that are not. SL.6.4 Present claims and findings, sequencing ideas logically and using pertinent descriptions, facts, and details to accentuate main ideas or themes; SL.6.5 Include multimedia components in presentations to clarify information. SL.6.6 Adapt speech to a variety of contexts and tasks, demonstrating command of formal English
- 72. Model: Listening standards and a close reading activity:
- 74. Close Encounter… • We will experience a close read
- 75. • “Read with a pencil” • Circle unfamiliar words • Discuss important points • Be prepared to support your conclusions: • POINT OF VIEW… (Read like a tree-hugger. Read like the CEO of Exxon) • OPINION… is shaped from POV • Share 3 VIP’s (Very important points) Mother Governor Exxon CEO Tree Hugger Purposeful reading… increases RELEVANCE “Why do I have to read this?”
- 76. Close Reading Reading needs a purpose if you want students engaged: Read this as if: • you were a pirate. • you were the king. Where do we see piracy today? If you were living in the 1600‟s, would you be a pirate?
- 77. As for special ed and Gifted?
- 80. Considerations when you choose complex text
- 81. Staircase of Complexity… Lexile, Quality & Reader and the task

- 89. Digging Deeper in the Common Core Repackaging for the CCSS (and a quick peek at the research behind vocabulary and close reading…) •What matters? •Why? •How can I do this? Paige Jaeger Coordinator for School Library Services „
- 90. • 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?
- 91. Essential Questions Essential Question? What’s the enduring understanding? How can we ask a question that gets this to be relevant outside of school? How can we relate this to the learner at his level? Can I use a pro- noun? Does this question relate to the knowledge product
- 92. What will that look like? What will the knowledge product be? Fotobabble? Blog? Blabberize Museum Box Essay? iMovie iBook? Prezi? Presentation, Script, Public Service Announcement Debate?
- 93. 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?

- 98. Did Pluto deserve to be kicked out of the solar system?
- 100. Headlines! Read all about it! 1. If you were to write a headline for this module that captured the most important aspects that should be remembered, what would that headline be? 2. Write one headline for COLLEAGUES, 3. Write one for KIDS. A headline should “capture the most important message in summative, catchy, pithy words.
- 101. Build in Assessment Capture proof ! • Pre & post • Tickets out the door • Mind map at beginning, mind map along the way, mind map at end – (name and date!) Tickets to leave Exit • Draw me a picture of a cell Exit • Tell me what you know about Manifest Destiny. Exit • What advice would you give someone leaving Europe emigrating to America?

- #22: Low-budget research? What are you going to say?
- #23: Moral of the story: Change is inevitable and constant. Teaching needs change as learning needs change. Learning needs define teaching needs
- #25: 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.”
- #26: 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.”
- #28: 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.”
- #29: 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.
- #30: Invitation to InvestigatePictoral reprentation of facts is EFFECTIVE - knowledge products via INFOGRAPHICS. Relevance and takes rigorous content and summarizes. - top of Bloom’s
- #36: Relevance shift in the pedagogy… Away from recall relevance
- #38: What are ways to engage?
- #44: Everyone is in the literacy business…”
- #45: Value words …words = power words = money empowerment Your library computers should be set to a DEFAULT TO CHECKING WRITING AND GRAMMAR WITHIN MCROSOFT WORD
- #49: 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.
- #50: 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. Even if you explicitly and implicitly teach Vocabulary…. You still won’t reach the 1,000,000 words in modern print.
- #54: One source of “academic vocabulary” lists
- #56: Poverty and vocabulary studies
- #60: 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:
- #62: When I gave you a purpose to read, you read “closer” -- That is “close reading” – purposeful reading. “I read it, but I don’t get it…”
- #63: Read red… Poll: Vote– have you seen this? Transliteracy will not build Dr., lawyers, actuaries, engineers, accountants, and other people who will achieve, invent, solve, etc .
- #64: Simple text has simple sentences – those with only 1 thoughtComplex sentences have 2 or more thoughts within them, and they are grammatically correct.
- #72: Visually infested generation… needs to strengthen the auditory modality. READ – The CASE of the MISSING Diamond.
- #76: As a librarian, you can do this 1 on 1 with students.
- #77: I read it but I don’t get it….
- #82: We don’t have time to address this in detail, and I would refer you to the rubrics on the handout for more information…On blog… For both books and Primary source documents this evaluative conversation needs to occur. With ELA core novels – Is this a sacred cow? Or, do we have to reconsider this in light of the CCS and Lexile recommendations? NYS “kate gershon”
- #84: What are ways to engage?
- #85: 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.”
- #93: What if Sherlock Holmes investigated, Synthesized came to a conclusion, and never reported it? Shared it? Sluething…
- #96: 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.
- #102: Tickets to leave correlate to our EQ’s at the beginning. If you are not teaching the students anything, watch out. Define your learning objective. EQ: what do you….
