How long, in minutes, did they spend in all playing the two games?Show All Work Answer __________minutesPart CThe students want to play a third game, but the park closes at 5:45 p.m.On the lines below, explain whether or not the teams are LIKELY to have enough time to play a third game before the park closes. Include the time the second game ends in your answer.______________________________________________________________

Exemplary Response:

Part A4:00ANDPart B40 + 50 = 90AND90 minutesANDPart CThe second game ended at 5:30 p.m. ANDThey will likely not have enough time to play a third game because the park closes in 15 minutes, and each of the other two games took at least 40 minutes.

Indiana Standards (2014)Instructional Shifts in College and Career Readiness:Strategies that Empower Teaching and LearningElementary English/Language Arts

How familiar are you with IAS expectations for text dependent questions and use of academic vocabulary?

I am not familiar.

I’ve heard of text dependent questions and academic vocabulary but haven’t really processed them. I’m familiar with text dependent questioning and academic vocabulary, but I have questions and would like more specifics on how this impacts instruction.

I’m very familiar with the text dependent questioning and academic vocabulary. I may be able to help others understand what they are and their impact.

Ask questions that focus on information (evidence) provided in the text.

Students must answer the questions based on passage information NOT on previous experience or personal ideas.

Keep students cognitively in the text… don’t draw them out of the text.

A Key Focus of the Indiana Academic Standards

Why use text based questions?

Text based questions build a critical foundation of knowledge needed for comprehending texts.

It increases students’ ability to read with understanding .

As students’ reading skills and foundation of knowledge increase, they expand their capacity to read increasing levels of complex text with understanding.

Text-Dependent Questions…

are questions that can only be answered correctly by close reading of the text and demand careful attention to the text

require an understanding that extends beyond recalling facts often require students to infer do not depend on information from outside sources allow students to gather evidence and build knowledge provide access to increasing levels of complex text require time for students to process

Ask text-dependent questions- The student must read the text to respond to the question

Ask higher order questions- Inferences, predictions, comparisons, summaries

Scaffold higher order questions with foundation questions

Use appropriate active participation procedures for asking questions

Support student responding by providing sentence starters (stems).

In what ways are emperor penguins different from other birds you know about?

Begin by saying: Emperor penguins are different from other birds in a

number of ways. First, ……………

Scaffold Higher Order Questions

Ask Questions

Saying answer to partner (Partners First)

1. Ask a question

2. Give students thinking time or writing time

3. Provide a verbal or written sentence starter or paragraph frame

4. Have students share answers with their partners using the sentence starter

5. Call on a student to give answer

6. Engage students in a discussion

Right There. The answer is in the text, and if we pointed at it, we'd say it's "right there!" Often, the answer will be in a single sentence or place in the text, and the words used to create the question are often also in that same place.

Sample: What was Gram showing Amanda in the trunk?

Student-Generated Questions

Think and Search. The answer is in the text, but you might have to look in several different sentences to find it. It is broken up or scattered or requires a grasp of multiple ideas across paragraphs or pages.

Sample: How did Gram’s and Amanda’s thoughts about what was in the trunk differ?

Student-Generated Questions

Lesson Snapshot

“Prove it. Show me the evidence.”

On My Own. The answer is not in the text, and in fact you don't even have to have read the text to be able to answer it.

Sample: What family stories do you have that made you laugh?

Student-Generated Questions

Author and You. The answer is not in the text, but you still need information that the author has given you, combined with what you already know, in order to respond to this type of question.

Sample: Why do you think Amanda was holding her breath

as Gram opened the trunk?

Student-Generated Questions

Students Generate “Test” Questions (Questioning Bookmark and QAR Poster Handout 1)

Use question starter cards

Assign one part of the story (beginning, middle, end) to pairs/partners!

Have them ask other students in group

1. Find your evidenced-based questions sheet2. Read each question3. Which questions would be considered to be

examples of text-based questions?

What Can a Small Bird Be?By Susie Wilde

Activity: Text Dependent or Not(Evidence –Based Questions Worksheet Handout 2)

Independently answer the following questions and then discuss with colleagues at your table:

What does it mean to ask text-based questions? How will this impact our instruction? What challenges will we face as we make this shift? What are the implications for teacher planning and

for teacher planning time in schools? What questions will take the students deeper into

this text and cause them to pay careful attention to it?

Academic Vocabulary

3 Tiers of VocabularyBeck and McKeown

Tier 1 – Basic, everyday words that students learn on their own.

Tier 2 – Are common enough that most mature readers are familiar with them. They can be found across various contexts and topics and understanding the meaning of these words promotes everyday reading and listening comprehension.

Tier 3 – Low-frequency words; many of which are domain specific.

Why? Verbs are where the action is – Teach admire, admired, admires,.... – Likely to see it again in grade-level text – Likely to see it on statewide assessments – Crucial to understanding the main ideas. – Not a part of the students’ prior knowledge. Why not eaves? – Rarely seen in print – Rarely used in stories or conversation or content

Choosing Words to Teach

Owl butterflies don’t need to hide. They have markings that scare their enemies. Big round spots on their wings look just like an owl’s eyes! If a bird comes close, the butterfly silently spreads its wings. That is all it has to do. When the bird sees the eyes, it trembles with fear. It thinks a real owl is looking at it.

Selecting Tier II Words(Owl Butterflies Vocabulary Activity Handout 3)

Reading: Literature- Questions are based on a range of grade-level literature and may include identifying, describing, and making inferences about literary elements and themes. . .

Reading: Nonfiction and Media Literacy- Questions are based on a range of grade-level nonfiction and may include identifying main ideas and supporting ideas with explicit textual support. . .

Reading: Vocabulary- . . . determining or clarifying the literal and nonliteral meanings of words and phrases and their uses in literature and nonfiction texts.

Questions may include persuasive, informative, or narrative writing in response to literature and nonfiction texts. . .

Blueprints

There will be two types of sessions for Applied Skills:

A passage with constructed response questions and an extended response

A passage or passage pairing with a few multiple choice questions and a writing prompt
