Shifts with the CCCS and PARCC

Shifts in ELA/Literacy

Reading, writing, and speaking grounded in evidence from text

Building knowledge through content-rich nonfiction

Regular practice with complex text and its academic language

Shifts in Math

Focus strongly where the standards focus

Coherence: Think across grades, and link to major topics.

Rigor: In major topics, pursue conceptual understanding, procedural skill and fluency, and application.

Decisions Are Data Driven

The data shown is the latest available data based on the 2012-13 school year.

Data for the 13-14 school year will be available from NJDOE in August, with the cycle 2 data available in Sept. The data will be presented in the fall at a BOE meeting as it was done this year.

Education.

You have read three texts describing Amelia Earhart. All three include the claim that Earhart was a brave, courageous person. The three texts are: • “Biography of Amelia Earhart” • “Earhart's Final Resting Place Believed Found” • “Amelia Earhart’s Life and Disappearance”

Consider the argument each author uses to demonstrate Earhart’s bravery.

Write an essay that analyzes the strength of the arguments about Earhart’s bravery in at least two of the texts. Remember to use textual evidence to support your ideas.
