Florida Journeys

Florida JourneysCommon Core

Why Journeys? Journeys build a deep

understanding of key domains and topics within a single lesson, across a grade, and across the program.

Each lesson features a domain and topic that tie the week’s text selections together.

And…. Lesson-specific topics approach each

domain in a grade-appropriate way.

The Three Components of Journeys

teaching notes at point of use during the reading

Expanded on later in the week using another text that complements the

anchor text.

and topic areExtended with domain-specific vocabulary and through text-based Research and Speaking

& Listening activities
