The Common Core and Close and Critical Reading
The Common Core State Standards Initiative is a state-led effort coordinated by the National Governors Association Center for Best Practices (NGA Center) and the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) .
Governors and state commissioners of education from 48 states, 2 territories and the District of Columbia committed to developing a common core of state standards in English-language arts and mathematics for grades K-12.
Key Take Aways
Text Structures
- ACT Reading Between the Lines
Performance on complex texts is the clearest differentiator in reading between students who are likely to be ready for college and those who are not.
And this is true for both genders, all racial/ethnic groups, and all annual family income levels.
Comprehension is not enough, critical analysis is essential to
determine the truth and value of the message.
Close and Critical Reading
The Four Questions - ALL Content ALL the Time
What a text says – restatement What a text does – description What a text means – interpretation

Art/Picture
Analyze PictureQuestion #2 - Perspective
The dirty little secret behind the keyboard-tapping, button-mashing, cell phone-yapping, Valley lifestyle? Electronics manufacturing and waste are incredibly toxic.
The cycle of planned obsolescence may drive profit growth.
It also drives continuing shipments of used and broken electronics to places like Guiyu, China, where workers like the one pictured here make pennies picking over silica wafers for precious metals, while drinking water polluted by lead and other industrial contaminants.
