Why Common Core?
![Page 6: Meeting the Text Complexity Demands of the Common Core](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062812/56816414550346895dd5c54f/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Common Core is NOT:
The Common Core was designed as the “WHAT”, not the “HOW”

What are the ‘big shifts’? 1. Balance of literary and informational
texts2. Knowledge in the disciplines3. Staircase of text complexity4. Text-based Answers5. Writing from Sources6. Academic Vocabulary

Shift in Instruction“. . . it is important to recognize that scaffolding often
is entirely appropriate. The expectation that scaffolding will occur with particularly challenging texts is built into the Standards’ grade-by-grade text complexity expectations, for example. The general movement, however, should be toward decreasing scaffolding and increasing independence both within and across the text complexity bands defined in the standards.”

The Shift To Text-Dependent Questions
In “A Letter from a Birmingham Jail,” Dr. King discusses nonviolent protest. Discuss, in writing, a time when you wanted to fight against injustice.
Based on this text, and this text alone, what do you know? What can you make out about the letter Dr. King received?

Engaging Students with the TextsStudents need to engage with:
Age/grade appropriate materials for exposure to structures, content, vocabulary
Instructional level materials that allow them to progress
“Easy” materials that allow them to practice

Begins with a Personal Connection
Step 1 and 2:
Personally or professionally, what would you like to know more about, plan or do?
Choose one in which you are most interested.
![Page 50: Meeting the Text Complexity Demands of the Common Core](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062812/56816414550346895dd5c54f/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Needs to be Important to YOUStep 3:
Introduce your selected topic and write a paragraph of at least five lines explaining why it’s important to you.

Connected to Prior Knowledge
Step 4:
Write a paragraph of at least five lines of detailing what you already know about this topic – some background or experience you have had.
Choose a research partner and share what you have written so far.
![Page 52: Meeting the Text Complexity Demands of the Common Core](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062812/56816414550346895dd5c54f/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Asking Important Questions
Step 5:
With your partner, brainstorm a minimum of three questions important to your topic. What do you really need to know about this topic?
![Page 53: Meeting the Text Complexity Demands of the Common Core](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062812/56816414550346895dd5c54f/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Strategic PlanningStep 5:
For each question, brainstorm where you might find these answers. Consider primary sources like people, hard copy sources, and electronic sources.
