When I was out saying the world is flat, Facebook wasn't in it, Twitter was still a sound, The cloud was still in the sky, 4G was a parking place, LinkedIn was a prison, and, for most people, Skype was a typo," he said. "That all happened in [seven] years."

GOALSCollegeCareer Ready

Students Who Are College and Career Ready in Reading, Writing, Speaking, Listening, and

LanguageThey demonstrate independence.Students can, without significant scaffolding, comprehend and evaluate complex texts across a range of types and disciplines, and they can construct effective arguments and convey intricate or multifaceted information. Likewise, students are able independently to discern a speaker’s key points, request clarification, and ask relevant questions. They build on others’ ideas, articulate their own ideas, and confirm they have been understood. Without prompting, they demonstrate command of standard English and acquire and use a wide-ranging vocabulary. More broadly, they become self-directed learners, effectively seeking out and using resources to assist them, including teachers, peers, and print and digital reference materials.

1 – 2 paragraphs

A summary is a succinct, accurate description, in your own words, of the content of a source text for quick overview, for inclusion in new writing, or as a study aid.

SUMARY DEFINED:

Anatomy of an Objective SummaryAn effective summary concisely describes, in your own words and without editorializing, the thesis and major points in a source text or media. It differs from an outline insofar as it is composed of full sentences.

An effective summary meets the following four requirements:• It is brief. Rule of thumb: no longer than 250

words.• It is complete. It includes the thesis (topic plus

controlling idea) of the source text.• It is accurate. It is faithful to the facts,

emphasis, and spirit of the source.• It is objective. It strives to report what the

original writer intended, without embellishment.

Simon, Seymour. Volcanoes. New York: HarperCollins, 2006. (2006)In early times, no one knew how volcanoes formed or why they spouted red-hot molten rock. In modern times, scientists began to study volcanoes. They still don’t know all the answers, but they know much about how a volcano works.

Our planet is made up of many layers of rock. The top layers of solid rock are called the crust. Deep beneath the crust is the mantle, where it is so hot that some rock melts. The melted, or molten, rock is called magma.

Volcanoes are formed when magma pushes its way up through the crack in Earth’s crust. This is called a volcanic eruption. When magma pours forth on the surface, it is called lava.Text Copyright © 1998 by Seymour Simon. Used by permission of HarperCollins Publishers.



Exemplar InformationalPetroski, Henry. “The Evolution of the Grocery

Bag.” American Scholar 72.4 (Autumn 2003). (2003)That much-reviled bottleneck known as the American supermarket checkout lane would be an even greater exercise in frustration were it not for several technological advances. The Universal Product Code and the decoding laser scanner, introduced in 1974, tally a shopper’s groceries far more quickly and accurately than the old method of inputting each purchase manually into a cash register. But beeping a large order past the scanner would have led only to a faster pileup of cans and boxes down the line, where the bagger works, had it not been for the introduction, morethan a century earlier, of an even greater technological masterpiece: the square-bottomed paper bag.

Washington, George. “Farewell Address.” (1796)Against the insidious wiles of foreign influence (I conjure you to believe me, fellow-citizens) the jealousy of a free people ought to be constantly awake, since history and experience prove that foreign influence is one of the most baneful foes of republican government. But that jealousy to be useful must be impartial; else it becomes the instrument of the very influence to be avoided, instead of a defense against it. Excessive partiality for one foreign nation and excessive dislike of another cause those whom they actuate to see danger only on one side, and serve to veil and even second the arts of influence on the other. Real patriots who may resist the intrigues of the favorite are liable to become suspected and odious, while its tools and dupes usurp the applause and confidence of the people, to surrender their interests.

Exemplar Narrative


Stevens, Janet. Tops and Bottoms. New York: Harcourt, 1985. (1995)Once upon a time there lived a very lazy bear who had lots of money and lots of land. His father had been a hard worker and a smart business bear, and he had given all of his wealth to his son.

But all Bear wanted to do was sleep.

Not far down the road lived a hare. Although Hare was clever, he sometimes got into trouble. He had once owned land, too, but now he had nothing. He had lost a risky bet with a tortoise and had sold off all of his land to Bear to pay off the debt.

Hare and his family were in very bad shape.

“The children are so hungry Father Hare! We must think of something!” Mrs. Hare cried one day. So Hare and Mrs. Hare put their heads together and cooked up a plan.[…]Bear stared at his pile. “But, Hare, all the best parts are in your half!”“You chose the tops, Bear,” Hare said.“Now, Hare, you’ve tricked me. You plant this field again—and this season I want the bottoms!”Hare agreed. “It’s a done deal, Bear.”

Exemplar NarrativeKafka, Franz. The Metamorphosis. Translated by Stanley Corngold. New York: Bantam, 1972. (1915)

When Gregor Samsa woke up one morning from unsettling dreams, he found himself changed in his bed into a monstrous vermin. He was lying on his back as hard as armor plate, and when he lifted his head a little, he saw his vaulted brown belly, sectioned by arch-shaped ribs, to whose dome the cover, about to slide off completely, could barelycling. His many legs, pitifully thin compared with the size of the rest of him, were waving helplessly before his eyes.“What’s happened to me?” he thought. It was no dream. His room, a regular human room, only a little on the small side, lay quiet between the four familiar walls. Over the table, on which an unpacked line of fabric samples was all spread out--Samsa was a traveling salesman--hung the picture which he had recently cut out of a glossy magazineand lodged in a pretty gilt frame. It showed a lady done up in a fur hat and a fur boa, sitting upright and raising up against the viewer a heavy fur muff in which her whole forearm had disappeared.

Students determine the meanings of words and phrases encountered in Sarah L. Thomson’s Where Do Polar Bears Live?, such as cub, den, , and the Arctic. [RI.2.4] (Appendix B, page 61)

Students determine the meaning of the metaphor of a cat in Carl Sandburg’s poem “Fog” and contrast that figurative language to the meaning of the simile in William Blake’s “The Echoing Green.” [RL.5.4] (Appendix B, page 71)

Students determine the point of view of John Adams in his “Letter on Thomas Jefferson” and analyze how he distinguishes his position from an alternative approach articulated by Thomas Jefferson. [RI.7.6] (Appendix B, page 93)

Students determine the meaning of domain-specific words or phrases, such as crust, mantle, magma, and lava,and important general academic words and phrases that appear in Seymour Simon’s Volcanoes. [RI.4.4] (Appendix B, page 76)

Students analyze in detail how the early years of Harriet Tubman (as related by author Ann Petry) contributed to her later becoming a conductor on the Underground Railroad, attending to how the author introduces, illustrates, and elaborates upon the events in Tubman’s life. [RI.6.3](Appendix B 93)Students analyze Thomas Jefferson’s Declaration of Independence, identifying its purpose and evaluatingrhetorical features such as the listing of grievances. Students compare and contrast the themes and argument found there to those of other U.S. documents of historical and literary significance, such as the Olive Branch Petition. [RI.11–12.9]Appendix B page 171

Students determine the meaning of key terms such as hydraulic, trajectory, and torque as well as otherdomain-specific words and phrases such as actuators, antilock brakes, and traction control used in Mark Fischetti’s “Working Knowledge: Electronic Stability Control.” [RST.11–12.4] (Appendix B, page 183) Students determine the central ideas found in the Declaration of Sentiments by the Seneca Falls Conference, noting the parallels between it and the Declaration of Independence and providing a summary that makes clear the relationships among the key details and ideas of each text and between the texts. [RH.11–12.2] (Appendix B, page 183)

Students compare and contrast the figurative and connotative meanings as well as specific word choices inJohn Donne’s “Valediction Forbidding Mourning” and Emily Dickinson’s “Because I Would Not Stop for Death” in order to determine how the metaphors of the carriage and the compass shape the meaning and tone of each poem. Students analyze the ways both poets use language that is particularly fresh, engaging, or beautiful to convey the multiple meanings regarding death contained in each poem. [RL.11–12.4] (Appendix B, page 171)

Students determine Richard Hofstadter’s purpose and point of view in his “Abraham Lincoln and the Self-Made Myth,” analyzing how both Hofstadter’s style and content contribute to the eloquent and powerful contrast he draws between the younger, ambitious Lincoln and the sober, more reflective man of the presidential years.

The success of professional development or

professional learning can only be determined by

measuring the implementation of strategies, the

incorporation of concepts and changes in attitudes

that teachers are able to transfer from the staff room

to the classroom.

Too many times, professional learning is judged

based on evaluations filled out by teachers as they

are packing up their bags and collecting their car

keys. As principals and teachers shift their thinking

about the goals of professional learning, they

understand that success is measured by the number

and level of applications in the classroom following

the professional learning sessions.
