America is an improbable idea. A mongrel nation built of
ever-changing disparate parts, it is held together by a
notion, the notion that all men are created equal, though
everyone knows that most men consider themselves better
than someone. “Of all the nations in the world, the United
States was built in nobody’s image,” the historian Daniel
Boorstin wrote. That’s because it was built of bits and
pieces that seem discordant, like the crazy quilts that have
been one of its great folk-art forms, velvet and calico and
checks and brocades. Out of many, one. That is the ideal.
Quindlen, Anna. “A Quilt of a Country.” Newsweek September 27, 2001. (2001)



KEY IDEAS and DETAILS
◦ Pay attention to what the text says explicitly
◦ Summarize central ideas with supporting details
and ideas.
◦ Analyze the text



Craft and Structure
◦ Interpret words and phrases
◦ Analyze structure
◦ Assess point of view and how that shapes the text


Integration of Knowledge and Ideas
◦ Integrate content from multiple formats and media
◦ Evaluate the argument and claims in a text
◦ Analyze how two or more texts address similar
themes / topics



Range of Reading and Level of Text
Complexity
◦ Read and comprehend complex literary and
informational texts independently and proficiently.

www.corestandards.org
It is imperative that we provide time
for reading significant and complex
text AND provide guidance and
support through the reading process.





An investigation of a short piece of text,
Multiple readings done over multiple
instructional lessons.
Use of text-based questions and discussion,
Students deeply analyze and learn to appreciate
various aspects of the text, stressing:
 Key vocabulary
 How its meaning is shaped by context;
 Attention to form, tone, imagery and/or
rhetorical devices;
 The significance of word choice and syntax;
 The discovery of different levels of
meaning
“The teacher’s goal is to gradually release
responsibility to students moving from an
environment where the teacher models for
students the strategies to one where
students employ the strategies on their own
when they read independently.”
Brown, S. & Kapps, L. (2012).

A Close Look at Immigration - Dorie Combs - KRA 2013
All students are expected to be able to independently
read and comprehend a range of sophisticated and
complex text and practice a range of thinking. 3
factors to consider:


Qualitative evaluation of the text

 Levels of meaning, structure, language, conventionality
and clarity, and knowledge demands



Quantitative evaluation of the text

 Readability and scores of text complexity



Matching reader to text and task

 Reader variables (motivation, knowledge, and
experience)
 Task variables (purpose and complexity)
Text 1
According to those who knew
him, Lincoln was a man of many
faces. In repose, he often seemed
sad and gloomy. But when he
began to speak, his expression
changed. “The dull, listless
features dropped like a mask,”
said a Chicago newspaperman.
“The eyes began to sparkle, the
mouth to smile, the whole
countenance was wreathed in
animation, so that a stranger
would have said, ‘Why, this
man, so angular and solemn a
moment ago, is really
handsome.’”

Text 2
Lincoln was shaken by the
presidency. Back in
Springfield, politics had been a sort
of exhilarating game; but in the White
House, politics was power, and power
was responsibility. Never before had
Lincoln held executive office. In
public life he had always been an
insignificant legislator whose votes
were cast in concert with others and
whose decisions in themselves had
neither finality nor importance. As
President he might consult with
others, but innumerable grave
decisions were in the end his
own, and with them came a burden of
responsibility terrifying in its
1
dimensions.

Requires prompting students with text-dependent
questions to unpack complex text and gain
knowledge.

•

Text dependent questions require text-based
answers – evidence.

•

Not teacher summarizing text, but guiding students
through the text for information.

•

Virtually every standard is activated during the course
of every close analytic reading exemplar through the
use of text dependent questions.

  • 2. America is an improbable idea. A mongrel nation built of ever-changing disparate parts, it is held together by a notion, the notion that all men are created equal, though everyone knows that most men consider themselves better than someone. “Of all the nations in the world, the United States was built in nobody’s image,” the historian Daniel Boorstin wrote. That’s because it was built of bits and pieces that seem discordant, like the crazy quilts that have been one of its great folk-art forms, velvet and calico and checks and brocades. Out of many, one. That is the ideal. Quindlen, Anna. “A Quilt of a Country.” Newsweek September 27, 2001. (2001) CCSA Grade 9-10 Informational text exemplar. CCSS Appendix Bhttp://www.corestandards.org/assets/Appendix_B.pdf

Use of text-based questions and discussion, Students deeply analyze and learn to appreciate various aspects of the text, stressing:  Key vocabulary  How its meaning is shaped by context;  Attention to form, tone, imagery and/or rhetorical devices;  The significance of word choice and syntax;  The discovery of different levels of meaning
  • 7. “The teacher’s goal is to gradually release responsibility to students moving from an environment where the teacher models for students the strategies to one where students employ the strategies on their own when they read independently.” Brown, S. & Kapps, L.

  • 9. All students are expected to be able to independently read and comprehend a range of sophisticated and complex text and practice a range of thinking. 3 factors to consider:  Qualitative evaluation of the text  Levels of meaning, structure, language, conventionality and clarity, and knowledge demands  Quantitative evaluation of the text  Readability and scores of text complexity  Matching reader to text and task  Reader variables (motivation, knowledge, and experience)  Task variables (purpose and complexity)
  • 10. Text 1 According to those who knew him, Lincoln was a man of many faces. In repose, he often seemed sad and gloomy. But when he began to speak, his expression changed. “The dull, listless features dropped like a mask,” said a Chicago newspaperman. “The eyes began to sparkle, the mouth to smile, the whole countenance was wreathed in animation, so that a stranger would have said, ‘Why, this man, so angular and solemn a moment ago, is really handsome.’” Text 2 Lincoln was shaken by the presidency. Back in Springfield, politics had been a sort of exhilarating game; but in the White House, politics was power, and power was responsibility. Never before had Lincoln held executive office. In public life he had always been an insignificant legislator whose votes were cast in concert with others and whose decisions in themselves had neither finality nor importance. As President he might consult with others, but innumerable grave decisions were in the end his own, and with them came a burden of responsibility terrifying in its 1 dimensions. 0

Editor's Notes

  1. Ask participants to read.
  2. Review the CCR standards required for social studies – and other areas!
  3. At a time when text books are no longer a dependable reality, we need to use a variety of text and media to provide current information
  4. Stop 7 introduce if the group is small. Think, pair with someone sitting close to you, share out ;
  5. How is this different from what you do now? Discuss
  6. There are many formulas and methods, most that are provided by publishers are quantitative.
  7. The context: 11th grade history class.The question: Which text is more complex?Allow participants 1 minute to read both texts. Then allow several minutes to discuss their responses.Answer: the text on the left in more complex for a 11th grade students. (Complex sentences, Lack of words, sentences or paragraphs that review or pull things together for the student, dense information, sophisticated vocabulary, sophisticated subject matter and concepts)(Texts were excerpted from CCSS Appendix B. The text on the left is an informational text for 11th – CCR and the text on the right is an information text for grades 2nd – 3rd)
  8. The context: 11th grade history class.The question: Which text is more complex?Allow participants 1 minute to read both texts. Then allow several minutes to discuss their responses.Answer: the text on the left in more complex for a 11th grade students. (Complex sentences, Lack of words, sentences or paragraphs that review or pull things together for the student, dense information, sophisticated vocabulary, sophisticated subject matter and concepts)(Texts were excerpted from CCSS Appendix B. The text on the left is an informational text for 11th – CCR and the text on the right is an information text for grades 2nd – 3rd)
  9. There is not only one way to do close reading, but close reading must involve rich complex texts that are worth reading and re-reading. Students also engage in answering and discussing text-dependent questions.Multiple readings and chunking texts will support fluency for struggling readers.
  10. Reread the Ed Leadership passage about close reading and annotate
  11. Here is one annotation strategy to support student understanding in tandem with teacher monitoring of student understanding. As they read, students utilize the symbols and annotate the text. (This strategy was developed by Kaycee Eckhart, a Fellow at Student Achievement Partners). From this point, students can paraphrase, journal, or prepare to write about the text in an evidence-based and meaningful way.)This is just one example! Please feel free to adapt, add, and modify this strategy to meet the needs of your students*Optional Additional Activity: You may choose print the “Lincoln” texts from slide #17, and give participants 15 minutes to practice using the strategy mentioned above.
  12. Annotate on handout
  13. What is stressed in Close Reading?
  14. Look at the op-ed piece. Use R, R, R handout and Practice the process
  15. Demonstrate this with Woody Guthrie Song
  16. Chunking – breaking up the text so that it is accessible and more significant passages can be studied in depthReading and rereading – pull small groups of struggling readers to pre-read the text with you, so they feel confident in class. Always remember that one read through is not enough – students need several reads of a rigorous textRead aloud – read aloud to the class. students need to hear and imitate the natural pauses, inflections, and tonality of a master reader’s voice. Strategic think aloud – modeling to students what is happening in your head as you read is a great way to show students how they might be thinking about a text. This is NOT telling them what to think about – rather it is a way to show HOW they might think about it. I’ll talk about this a little more in a moment. Scaffolding questions – while incredibly rigorous questioning is where we want students to go, not every question has to be a high level comprehension question. Build in more basic evidence-based questions along the way to check for comprehension and build confidence. Heterogeneous small groups – break your class into smaller groups and assign a stringer reader to guide other students through this. There are many ayes to do this – assign different parts of the text to each group so that each group becomes an “expert.” Give each group a different set of questions to work on. Recording – read the text a few days in advance into a device and provide it to ESL and emerging readers. You may also want to pause in your reading and ask questions or provide helpful hints as they listen. They really enjoy this. Preparing struggling readers to support confidence and participation – similar to recording or rereading, this also includes leveled reading about a topic before encountering the more complex textAnnotation strategies – increases engagement and comprehension, helps students be “metacognitive” about their learningCornell notes – helps students retain information and summarize knowledgeParaphrasing and journaling – helps students own the information and helps the teacher check for troop understanding
