Outcomes
Learn:•How CCSS Standards are vertically and horizontally aligned and how they flow.•How to unwrap CCSS and understand their
relationship to PASS.•How to bump up PASS lessons to CCSS higher
level thinking and rigor.

What is Common Core?
Based on Research & Evidence
Aligned with college & work expectations
Rigorous!
Benchmarked internationally
INTEGRATED literacy skills
in math, science, and social studies
Common Core Standards:
Do NOT tell teachers how to teach.
Do NOT include all content students should learn.
CCSS is meant to supplement state standards – not supplant them.
Focus: PROCESS not CONTENT

Argument: a part of RIGORThe argumentative essay is a genre of writing that requires the student to investigate a topic, collect, generate, and evaluate evidence, and establish a position on the topic in a concise manner.
Sample CCSS Performance TaskGrade 3: Informational Texts
Students explain how the main idea that Lincoln had “many faces” in Russell Freedman’s Lincoln: A Photobiography is supported by key details in the text. [RI.3.2]

Anchor Standard CCR 8 (Same for K – 12) Delineate and evaluate the argument and specific claims in a text, assessing whether the reasoning is sound and the evidence is relevant and sufficient; recognize when irrelevant evidence is introduced.
GRADE 5 STANDARD 8: Explain how an author uses reasons and evidence to support particular points in a text, identifying which reasons and evidence support which point(s).

CC.K.RI.8With prompting and support, identify the reasons an author gives to support points in a text.
CC.5.RI.88. Explain how an author uses reasons and evidenceto support particular points in a text, identifying which reasons and evidence support which point(s).
CC.9-10.RI.8 Delineate and evaluate the argument and specific claims in a text, assessing whether the reasoning is valid and the evidence is relevant and sufficient; identify false statements and fallacious reasoning.
CC.2.RI.8Describe how reasons support specific points the author makes in a text.
CC Design Components
*Define end-of-year expectations by grade
*Show cumulative progression through the grades
Horizontal Alignment (blue handout)
CC.5.RI.9 Reading for InformationIntegrate information from several texts on the same topic in order to write or speak about the subject knowledgeably.
CC.5.W.9 WritingDraw evidence from literary or informational texts to support analysis, reflection, and research.
CC.5.RL.9 Reading LiteratureCompare and contrast stories in the same genre (e.g., mysteries and adventure stories) on their approaches to similar themes and topics.

Unwrapping the
Standards(gold handout)
Don’t Mess With NaturePASS Standard Life Science 2.1 Organisms in a community, interacting populations in a common
location, depend on each other for food, shelter, and reproduction.
Multiple Intelligences NaturalisticMaterials/Resources: Non-fiction (informational) books, computers, online databasesEssential Vocabulary: Habitat, Reintroduce , Ecosystem, OrganismsProcedures
Note: This lesson will be done in collaboration with the school librarian.
Opening the Lesson
*Teacher or librarian will read a nonfiction book about wolves such as, Gray Wolves: Return to Yellowstone by Meish Goldish.
*Teacher or librarian will reread the book and think about what keywords people would need to know in order to research about wolves.
Developing the Lesson
*Students will use dictionaries to look up words and create a glossary. Librarian will reinforce where glossaries are located in books, why they are valued research tools, and show examples of them in other nonfiction books.
*Students will research information about wolves at computers using Pebble Go, Grolier, World Book, or web sites chosen by the teacher or librarian.
*Students will research information from library print resources
Concluding the Lesson
*Students will tell ten facts about wolves making sure their facts include information about their shelter, their habitat, and their reproduction.
Differentiation *Students can work individually or in small groups, students may choose databases based on their reading level
From questions to ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS
Wiggins and McTighe define essential questions as “questions that are not answerable with finality in a brief sentence… Their aim is to stimulate thought, to provoke inquiry, and to spark more questions — including thoughtful student questions — not just pat answers” (106).
How?Why?
How Would? Why should?
Standards BIG IDEA
Life Science 2.1 Organisms in a community, interacting populations in a common location, depend on each other for food, shelter, and reproductionCC.5.RI.2 (gold handout) Determine two or more main ideas of a text and explain how they are supported by key details; summarize the text. Also See CC.5.RI.5 and CC.5.W.9
Essential Questions How is the balance of an ecosystem dependent on all organisms? Should wolves be reintroduced into Yellowstone?

Note: This lesson will be done in collaboration with the school librarian.
Opening the Lesson Teacher or librarian will read a nonfiction book about wolves such as, Gray Wolves: Return to Yellowstone by Meish Goldish.Teacher or librarian will reread the book asking students to identify what keywords they would need to know
in order to research about wolves.
Developing the LessonStudents will research information about wolves and their place in the ecosystem at library computers using
Pebble Go, Grolier, World Book, or web sites chosen by the teache or librarian.Students will research information from library print resources.Students will analyze and apply their findings to present both points of view about reintroduction of animals.
Concluding the LessonStudents will communicate two contradictory viewpoints on reintroduction by writing the main ideas and
giving supporting details.Extending the LessonClass could have a debate with students presenting and defending both sides of this controversial issue.
Assessment Questions
Rubric addressing student use of grammar, development of main idea, relevancy of supporting facts, accuracy of research.
Differentiation Students can work individually or in small groups, students may choose databases based on their reading level.
