#2 DESIGN YOUR CLASSROOM ASSESSMENT AS THE FOUNDATION OF A BALANCED ASSESSMENT SYSTEM

Derive your unit and lesson outcomes from a curriculum aligned to the Common Core.

Plan your student learning targets, instructional activities, and formative and summative classroom assessments to support and align with these outcomes.

Use formative assessments to help students ready themselves for summative assessments.

The result should be a balanced assessment system built on a classroom foundation that supports the new state assessment system (from either consortium) based on the Common Core. Like a triangle, it should be bottom-heavy, not top-heavy.

WRITING IS THINKING ON PAPER. Nonfiction READING AND WRITING CONNECTIONS Third Grade

Nonfiction Reading KEY IDEAS AND DETAILS

1. Ask and answer questions to demonstrate understanding of a text, referring explicitly to the text as the basis for the answers.

2. Determine the main idea of a text; recount the key details and explain how they support the main idea.

3. Describe the relationship between a series of historical events, scientific ideas or concepts, or steps in technical procedures in a text, using language that pertains to time, sequence, and cause/effect

Write Explanatory Texts: Explain what You Learn

TEXT TYPES AND PURPOSES Write informative/explanatory texts to examine a topic and convey ideas and information clearly.

o Introduce a topic and group related information together; include illustrations when o useful to aiding comprehension. o Develop the topic with facts, definitions, and details. o Use linking words and phrases (e.g., also, another, and, more, but) to connect ideas o within categories of information. o Provide a concluding statement or section.

CRAFT, a way to challenge students to think through a topic they learn CRAFT is based on RAFT, a research-based writing strategy. For more about RAFT, go to the International Reading Association website, http://www.readwritethink.org/professional-development/strategy-guides/using-raft-writing-strategy-30625.html CRAFT puts CONTENT first—what’s the content that students learn? List that then ask them to choose a role that is relevant to that content and figure out the audience they would write to and the format they’ll use. Then have them list the concept(s) and kinds of information they’ll include. The following chart includes examples from different subjects. Content Westward

Expansion Phases of the moon

Branches of government

How to write a poem

How to read history

The scientific method

How to read fiction

Proportion: Fractions

Role An oxen who just finished the trip west

The moon Ben Franklin A poem The textbook

Madame Curie

A character from a story

The denominator

Audience The wagon master

Earthlings George Washington

Reader A textbook reader

A lab assistant

A reader A decimal

Format List of complaints and recommendations

Booklet with diagrams

letter Directions Step-by-step guide

Report checklist letter

Tell What concepts and information will you include?

Concepts: determination challenge frontier pioneer Facts about the difficulties pioneers faced getting to their destination and how determined they were.

Concepts: change pattern Facts about phases: what causes them, how they affect Earth

Concept: balance How and why we should maintain checks and balances in government

Concept: theme technique How to read me— How to figure out my Message, how to admire my techniques

Concept: structure central ideas What features to look for; what kinds of ideas to read for; strategies to use to report what you learn

Concepts: Strategy Method How to make sure you research using standard scientific method; what I learned by using it.

Concepts: Elements of fiction What you need to pay attention to so you really understand me and my story. Motive, actions, traits, theme.

Concept: Proportion How we are connected—how the fraction and decimal are alike.

CRAFT is an opportunity to exercise the thinking that is required by Common Core Literacy Standards

Pack Your Wagon This activity was designed originally by the Chicago History Museum. You’re a person moving to Illinois from the East in 1831. You’re traveling by covered wagon. It’s not a big wagon. Choose just ten of these objects to take with you. You will need to choose things you may need during the trip and after you get to Illinois. When you arrive, you will have to build your own home and get your own food. pillow piano

Read closely to determine what the text says explicitly and to make logical inferences from it; cite specific textual evidence when writing or speaking to support conclusions drawn from the text. Next, read about pioneer life. Then look at your list. Figure out if you should change your list based on what you read.

Settlers’ Challenges Common Core Anchor Reading Standard 1. Read closely to determine what the text says explicitly and to make logical inferences from it; cite specific textual evidence when writing or speaking to support conclusions drawn from the text.

Settlers came to this area to build farms. While they found the land difficult to plant in because of the thick root system, trees were not in the way—the area was mostly an open grassland. When settlers came, they traded goods with the Potawatomi to get food and animal skins. After a time, the Potawatomi were forced to move when homesteaders took over the land. The Potawatomi asked that they could stay “on the land given to us by the great spirit,” but they could not continue to live here. By 1831, they had to move. Here is what one woman wrote about her trip to live in Illinois. I have dragged one foot after the other so long and hope for the best. Friday Eve. We commence a fourteen mile prairie after we got to Paris, Illinois, hot though it was as the sun was setting it was very good some part of the way—Many bad slews. The Doctor got stuck, twice, the oxen drew him out. The prairies look fine. Many kinds of flowers grow on them—and prairie hens live on them, one of the company shot one. Eliza looks bad but says she feels like helping me get supper. Oh, dear, I think it’s hard time. Saturday 15th. Today have been traveling through prairie and timber, both, and got lost in the bargain—we took the wrong road and wallowed around the prairie grass, sometimes as high as the horses’ back. Night came we pitched our tent after mowing the grass down and made as comfortable as could be expected amongst the mosquitoes. Here is what one woman’s life was like after settling. The woman told me that they spun and wove all the cotton and woolen garments of the family, and knit all the stockings; her husband, though not a shoe-maker by trade, made all the shoes. She made all the soap and candles they used, and prepared her sugar from the sugar-trees on their farm. All she wanted with money, she said, was to buy coffee and tea, and she could “get enough any day by sending a batch of butter and chicken to market.” They used no wheat, nor sold any of their corn, which though it appeared a very large quantity, was not more than they required to make their bread and cakes of various kinds, and to feed all their live stock during the winter.” Here are the problems these settlers faced each season: Fall—the threat of fire—the prairie grass became very dry and a spark could start a fire that would burn the prairie and their cabin Winter—freezing cold, deep snow, people got lost in the drifts when the trails were covered Spring—the prairie became swampy when the snow melted Summer—some days were very hot and there was no shady forest to cool yourself; there were so many insects that sometimes horses died from being stung so much. READ CLOSELY What do you think the main idea is of this passage? Underline or list five facts that support it. THINK MORE Illustrate the passage. Draw pictures that show what each paragraph explains.
