  • Successful Students Superior StandardsSupportive School Climate Complex Text Example From CCSS Appendix A 9/10 grade Exemplar: Dash, Joan. The Longitude Prize. Phoenicians, Greeks, and Romans tended to sail along the coasts and were rarely out of sight of land. As later navigators left the safety of the Mediterranean to plunge into the vast Atlanticfar from shore, and from the shorebirds that led them to itthey still had the sun and the North Star. And these enabled them to follow imagined parallel lines of latitude that circle the globe. Following a line of latitudesailing the parallelkept a ship on a steady east-west course. Christopher Columbus, who sailed the parallel in 1492, held his ships on such a safe course, west and west again, straight on toward Asia. When they came across an island off the coast of what would later be called America, Columbus compelled his crew to sign an affidavit stating that this island was no island but mainland Asia.

  • Slide 37
  • Successful Students Superior StandardsSupportive School Climate Tips for Success with this strategy Tip #1: If you are NOT holding the marker, DO NOT talk. Tip #2: When all team members have had the last word at least 2 times, you may engage in an open ended discussion of the text we read. Tip #3: If you were using this strategy in your classroom, you might end the activity by having students silently write a summary of their group discussion. Tip #4: If you were using this strategy in your classroom and a student finished writing the group discussion well ahead of the other students, you might direct the student to reread all or a part of the text that was under discussion.

What are some of the consequences of the low reading ability of students? How is text complexity defined and measured? Complete first column of Reading/Viewing with a Focus
  • Slide 42
  • Successful Students Superior StandardsSupportive School Climate Reading with a Focus Purpose: This task requires students to read with a specific purpose in mind. For example, they may be given three questions to consider as they complete the reading of an article. Or, they may be asked to read an authors journal with the understanding that at the completion of the reading they will decide on a salient image the journal triggered for them, as well as a quote that highlights key concepts or emotions. Focus questions guide students reading and alert them to the pertinent information in a text. Required for use: In order for a teacher to write focus questions for a reading, the teacher must know why he or she is asking students to read the particular text, and what the purpose and goals are for the reading. Before reading, the teacher tells students that they will be reading with a focus, and alerts them to the focus question(s).
