What does Common Core require?
Clear and careful thinking about more complex texts and math problems that challenge students more than the previous curriculum did. Strategic thinking as students analyze complex situations in every subject. Clear and focused communication as students respond to tasks that require them to construct responses to more rigorous questions and apply concepts, skills, and strategies in more challenging contexts.

READINGandWRITINGdevelopTHINKING!
Common Core Literacy Standards: A Concise Listing The following statements list the focuses of each of the Reading and Writing standards. Reading Standards Ideas and Information
1. Read carefully to figure out what the text says, then infer with evidence. 2. Figure out the central idea (nonfiction) or theme (literature) 3. Analyze relationships—among characters, plot (fiction), among ideas (nonfiction)
Craft and Structure
4. What are the important words and what do they mean in this context? 5. What choices did the writer make—techniques, components, structure? 6. What is the writer’s purpose?
Integration of Ideas and Information
7. Integrate ideas and information from different kinds of sources 8. Evaluate the strength of evidence for a position (only for nonfiction) 9. Compare and contrast different presentations of the same topic or theme or
different texts by same writer. Writing Standards Text Types and Purposes: 1. Argumentative 2. Explanatory 3. Narrative
Research to Build and Present Knowledge
7. Research to respond to a focus question. 8. Integrate information from different kinds of sources. 9. Support research and analysis with evidence. Production and Distribution of Writing 4. Make it coherent and clear—well organized. 5. Plan it then revise it. 6. Use technology to “publish” it

Thequarterplanemphasizesreadingcomprehensively—developingskillsasstudentsreadcompletely.The following standards-based questions ask you to think thoroughly about any story. Choose a story. Choose a question. Answer it with evidence from the story. Then choose and answer other questions. You can read collaboratively, too—each student answers a different question, then share your ideas. What happens? Why? Where does it Who are the happen? people? What kind of place What are their traits? is It? How do the people How does it end? feel about each other? What do you think How do you know? happens next? What problems or How do the people obstacles do feel at the start? the people How can you How do the overcome? figure that out? people feel at the How? end? Why do you think so?
CREATE! After you read the story, think more! • Write a preview for the story—tell why someone should read it. • Illustrate the story. Draw pictures showing important events that support the theme. • Write a letter that someone in the story might have written. • Choose or write music that the characters would like. • Create a collage showing how the parts fit together to communicate the theme. • Tell about what might have happened before the story started. • Add a character to the story. • Turn it into a play. > List the events and characters. Note the characters’ traits. > Figure out the message or theme of the story. Then write the dialogue.

formats. __Students will write based on “mentor” texts—the next chapter in a story. __Students sometimes will choose the format they feel most confident to use so that they focus on the meaning. __Students will create “Big Books” and displays that explain what they learn from reading nonfiction. __Use graphic organizers to guide students to analyze. __ __ __ __ __

Learning about Animals CCSSR2.Determinecentralideasorthemesofatextandanalyzetheirdevelopment;summarizethekeysupportingdetailsandideas.NextGenerationScienceCross-CuttingConcept:StructureandFunction
Animals are wonderful. If you look closely at how they live you will find surprises. Watching animals is a job that scientists do. It is called making observations. They have learned a lot about animals.
Scientists learned about tiny animals. They have studied insects. They found that some insects have tools they use to live. They learned about the sawfly. The sawfly is just one animal they have studied.
Imagine what the sawfly is like. It is a fly but not like many others. They call it the sawfly because it has a kind of saw. It's not a real saw, but it looks like one, and it works like one. It is part of the sawfly. The sawfly uses the saw to make places where the eggs will be safe. It saws at plants to make a place to hide the eggs.
Some insects have tools that work just like scissors. The poppy-bee is one of them. It is a bee that makes its home in wood. This bee has a drilling tool, too. It uses the tool to dig into old wood.
Scientists observe birds to learn about them. They have seen birds use their bills to get what they need. So their bills are like tools. Some birds use their bills to cut into wood. They have sharp bills that can cut a hole in a tree. They drill the hole to get inside the tree where insects live. Then they eat them.
Every animal is amazing. Even dogs and cats can surprise you. The more you look at animals the more you will learn. Nature is full of surprises. Every part of every animal has a purpose. Scientists learn more about them ever day.
