Introduction
Zach Riffell2 truths and 1 lie
Neil Armstrong gave me a signed copy of his local newspaper in Wapakoneta, Ohio.
Oliver North once used my back to sign a letter in Pensacola, Florida.
Jimmy Carter used to eat picnic lunches with me in Americus, Georgia.
Which one is the lie?

Why Literacy?

The Literacy Task
Look at the project description.This is the description of the entire
project.Notice the third paragraph. This is the
literacy assignment for the project.
HSTWMMGW/TCTW
SouthernRegionalEducationBoard
What Task?
After researching legal and financial issues associated with business ownership and participating in enabling learning activities intended to assist you in developing an ownership model into a game, write a brief in which you discuss the relative merits of each ownership style and evaluate which one is best for your company. Be sure to support your position with evidence from the texts and from participation in enabling learning activities. Be sure to acknowledge competing views.

Preparing for the Task
Do Now—Students individually brainstorm businesses started in New Jersey.
As a class, share responses. Who owns these businesses?

Preparing for the Task
What is the benefit of this seemingly simple event?Establish relevanceProvides scaffolding for less familiar
studentsProvides teacher with some initial
information about student awareness

Teaching Reading
1. Activate Prior Knowledge
2. Employ a pre-reading strategy
3. Develop vocabulary acquisition skills
4. Develop reading skills
5. Reflect on what was read
6. Assess gaps in understanding
7. Find scaffolding materials to close gaps

The Reading Process
Explore—Ask students to read selection from the Small Business Administration on sole proprietorships.

The Reading Process
Before reading, what must we do?Pre-readingVocabulary
What does pre-reading allow us to do?Make predictionsOrganize our approach
HSTWMMGW/TCTW
SouthernRegionalEducationBoard
Pre-reading
What do we know about sole proprietorships?
Scan the article. What do we think we will learn about
sole proprietorships upon reading this selection?
Phrase these as questions.Notice this essentially parallels the
first two stages of KWL.

Technical Vocabulary
“Words that don’t have exact synonyms or [have] different meanings in other contexts” (Mudraya, 2006).
“Closely related to the topic and not likely to be known in general language with the same meaning” (Nation, 2001, 2003).

Reading
The questions we generated from our pre-reading can now serve us in our reading.
Annotation helps us keep track of information as we process it:Underline confusing piecesCheck items that answer our
questionsCircle vocabulary wordsStar anything that seems interesting

Reflection
Look at your notes and the project description.
How has this reading furthered my understanding of the technical concept?
On what technical concepts do I still need more information?
How has this reading informed my solution to the problem presented in the project?
What information do I still need in order to solve the problem?
HSTWMMGW/TCTW
SouthernRegionalEducationBoard
Reflection
Notice that our annotations and answers to these questions are what we learned from the KWL chart.
In addition, we also know how we might apply what we have learned: KWLA
And what we still need to learn: KWLAL

Assessing and Scaffolding
Look at your students’ responses to the questions.
What will they tell you?What can we do with this
information.

Literacy includes Writing
After researching legal and financial issues associated with business ownership and participating in enabling learning activities intended to assist you in developing an ownership model into a game, write a brief in which you discuss the relative merits of each ownership style and evaluate which one is best for your company. Be sure to support your position with evidence from the texts and from participation in enabling learning activities. Be sure to acknowledge competing views.

Teaching Writing
1. Activate “new” knowledge
2. Plan a response
3. Draft a response
4. Revise the response
5. Edit the response
6. Deliver the response

Transition to Writing
Key Question of the Day: How will you apply the tools and knowledge learned the past two weeks to better understand the project statement?
HSTWMMGW/TCTW
SouthernRegionalEducationBoard
Assessment
What is holistic grading?“Holistic scoring is a method by
which trained readers evaluate a piece of writing for its overall quality…In this type of scoring, readers are trained not to become overly concerned with any one aspect of writing” (FLDOE).
HSTWMMGW/TCTW
SouthernRegionalEducationBoard
Assessment
What is analytic grading?“Rather than simply balancing
strengths and weaknesses on key criteria to reach an overall score for the effectiveness of a piece of writing, analytic scoring calls for teachers to provide feedback on each of the noted criteria for the writing assignment” (CSU)
HSTWMMGW/TCTW
SouthernRegionalEducationBoard
Assessment
Look at the rubric for assessing the final paper (it is found in your notebook).
There are 7 categories to be scored:FocusControlling IdeaReading/ResearchDevelopmentOrganizationConventionsContent Understanding
HSTWMMGW/TCTW
SouthernRegionalEducationBoard
Assessment
In your workgroups, define one criterion.Use the rubric to determine what the word
means.Do not worry about differentiating among
the levels of achievement (e.g. What makes a 1 a 1 or a 4 or a 4).
Make sure your definition is in “student-friendly” language.
Create a graphic representation of your term as well.
HSTWMMGW/TCTW
SouthernRegionalEducationBoard
Assessment
Let’s practice using the rubric. First, look at the sample project description
to determine what students are being asked to do.“After researching standard operating
procedures on emergency preparedness and participating in enabling learning activities intended to assist you in assessing the needs of a community in times of disaster, write a disaster relief handbook in which you relate how hospitals and regional health centers can mitigate blood-supply shortages during emergencies.”
HSTWMMGW/TCTW
SouthernRegionalEducationBoard
Assessment
Now that we know what we are looking for, let’s read the sample paper.
Read the paper and pay attention to the various elements as you read, noting particular strengths and weaknesses as you read.
Do not worry about assigning a score as you go. The scoring process happens as reflection once we finish reading.
HSTWMMGW/TCTW
SouthernRegionalEducationBoard
Focus
The writer attempts to establish a response that addresses the prompt, but the support is uneven.
“The purpose of this manual is for any disaster, an event that can drastically affect the person’s life or chance of livelihood.”
“A disaster can be defined…where there is too much blood available.”
“people involved can communicate by email, phone…” and “The blood can be transported by many means of transportation.”

Controlling Idea
The writer introduces a central idea for the writing but introduces ideas that are not explicitly linked to either the focus or the controlling idea.
“Companies can set up a 1-800 number for their employees to receive and give information.”
“Usually, the storage is for short term where the refrigeration process is used and the blood should not freeze.”

Reading/Research
The writer has a tendency to introduce ideas without providing specifications.
No citations are used at all.

HSTWMMGW/TCTW

Development
The introduces ideas with few details or attempts to establish relevancy.
“Also the environment of the hospitals needs to be quiet and organized; ready to respond quickly and surely.”
“The first step in managing preparations is gathering…and any other equipment that is necessary.”

Organization
The paper is generally easy to follow and makes excellent use of some authentic text features. Additional text elements typical of handbooks might make the information more manageable. More careful review of authentic writing examples might improve this further.

Conventions
While the paper is generally easy to read, several cumbersome constructions and improper punctuation occasionally derail the reader.“; if federal assistance is needed.”“where the local community would be
responsible for its decision or it could escalate”
“it is likely…definitely slowing down”“like for example”

Content Understanding
The writer demonstrates a basic understanding of the material as a whole even if the paper is not exemplary. Material from several facets of the disaster response are included here.
What is left unsaid is what hurts the writer the most here.

Reflection
Why is analytic grading so important in helping students master writing in the career and technical areas associated with Advanced Career (AC)?
