• Obtain a ball from a facilitator.• Using the SWH template as your guide,
explore the question concerning the ball.• Develop a plan to test your question.• Be sure to record your observations and any
data collected on your SWH.• Materials available:
– Ball, meter stick, stop watch, sound meter

What about the probe?• Discuss your findings
with your group.• Re-visit the probe used
at the beginning.• Are you satisfied with
your choice & explanation?
• Modify if needed.

Shifts in ELA/Literacy
25
Shift 1 Balancing Informational & Literary Text
Students read a true balance of informational and literary texts.
Shift 2 Knowledge in the Disciplines Students build knowledge about the world (domains/ content areas) through TEXT rather than the teacher or activities
Shift 3 Staircase of Complexity Students read the central, grade appropriate text around which instruction is centered. Teachers are patient, create more time and space and support in the curriculum for close reading.
Shift 4 Text-based Answers Students engage in rich and rigorous evidence based conversations about text.
Shift 5 Writing from Sources Writing emphasizes use of evidence from sources to inform or make an argument.
Shift 6 Academic Vocabulary Students constantly build the transferable vocabulary they need to access grade level complex texts. This can be done effectively by spiraling like content in increasingly complex texts.

The belief that students should be learning
through disciplinary literacy and that you can
help them.
A strong sense of what reading and writing
means in your discipline.
Clear learning targets for the content students
will be learning.
A range of strategies to assist your disciplinary
discourse outsiders.

• “The idea is not that content-area teachers should become reading and writing teachers, but rather that they should emphasize the reading and writing practices that are specific to their subjects, so students are encouraged to read and write like historians, scientists, mathematicians, and other subject-area experts.”– Biancarosa and Snow, 2004, as cited in Buehl, 2009, pg. 18

How can we manage energy transfers and transformations in order to reduce overall energy loss or usage? After reading informational texts, conducting investigations, utilizing simulations, and designing solutions to a problem, write an article in which you analyze the energy transfers and transformations for (student design problem), providing examples to clarify your analysis.
