Reading Anchor Standard #10
E.L. Achieve 5
Close, analytic reading stresses engaging with a text of sufficient complexity directly and examining meaning thoroughly and methodically, encouraging students to read and reread deliberately. Directing student attention on the text itself empowers students to understand the central ideas and key supporting details. It also enables students to reflect on the meanings of individual words and sentences; the order in which sentences unfold; and the development of ideas over the course of the text, which ultimately leads students to arrive at an understanding of the text as a whole.
PARCC, 2011, p. 7
Reading a textbook in ‘drafts’ is very similar to writing an essay in drafts. Our preview of the text is like a pre-writing brainstorm where we list what we already know about the topic and what we will learn. Our first draft reading helps us get the gist of the text, the main ideas. Our second draft reading focuses on important details to help us understand the main ideas and think about how all parts of the text fit together.

Close reading meansInteracting with text
How do you teach the skills of close reading?
E.L. Achieve 6
Close Reading starts with Knowing How It Ends
The first step in teaching the text is to determine the text(s) to be used and if there are specific sections of the text that are more relevant for the task.
ELA and Social Studies Content Modules ���An Example of Text Analysis
Take a moment to review Step One of the Text Analysis in your content module. What reading is used and are there specific sections of the reading that are more relevant for the task?
17
Preparing for Close Reading Analyzing the Language of the Text
The second step is to determine if the function of the text matches the function of the task.
If so, how can the functional language be leveraged?
If not, what functional language needs to be taught?
E.L. Achieve 7
Take a moment to review Step Two of the Text Analysis in your content module. 1. Does the function of the text match the function of the task?
2. What functional language is leveraged in the reading or taught explicitly?
Close ReadingPlanning for Each ReadThe third step is to plan for each reading:
1. What is the guiding question for the read?
2. What reading strategies will you use to help students better comprehend the text?
3. What note-makers and structured student talk routines will you use?
Take a moment to review Step Three of the Text Analysis in your content module. 1. What is the guiding question for the read?
2. What reading strategies are used?
3. What note-makers and structured student talk routines are used?
E.L. Achieve 8
The purpose of first draft reading is overall comprehension – getting the gist.
The second reading requires analysis of the text. It is an opportunity to gather evidence from the text for the task.
With your partner, read through the lesson close reading activities – ELA: Activity 4 and 5 (pages 5-11 and 5-12) – Social Studies: Activity 5, 6, and 7 (pages
5-8 to 5-10)
Use your note-taking tool to guide your review. Be prepared to share insights in your team of four.

Writing well is not an option; it is a necessity.
Genres are goal-oriented; they are meant to serve a purpose. Genres have an expected overall structure; they rely on well-established patterns. In ELA, the common genres are narrative, argument/persuasive, expository, and response to literature. In science, a lab report is an example of a genre.
E.L. Achieve 11
.
To successfully write a formal paper in a common academic genre or format, a skilled writer must have command of the dominant functions to: o organize and structure his/her thinking o use language specific to the writing task
What makes writers masters of their trade is not only their ability to express interesting thoughts, but their mastery of an inventory of basic moves…less experienced writers are often unfamiliar with these basic moves.

Dear Mr. Townsend,
Thank you for offering to take our class on a field trip and for asking for our input on where we should visit. After analyzing the students’ preferences, the costs, and distances, I recommend that the class visit the science museum. While it’s true that a lot of students wanted to go to the zoo (12), it was also the last choice for even more students (13). However, both the science museum and the aquarium had a higher number of first and second choice votes (21 and 22 respectively). I could have chosen either of those options based on students’ preferences, but the science museum was significantly less expensive than the aquarium. The science museum would only cost each student $7.33 whereas the aquarium would cost $11.33 per student. The increased cost of the aquarium trip is due to the fact that it is farther away from school than the science museum and therefore had higher transportation costs. Also, the shorter bus trip would mean less time in route and more time in the museum. Finally, my personal preference has been the science museum all along. I haven’t visited a science museum for a long time and I would like to try all of the new interactive exhibits. For all of these reasons, I recommend that we take a class trip to the science museum.
Thank you for considering my input.
Most sincerely, Scott
Language Production - functions Which language function(s) will students be expected to produce?
Making Sense of the Task ! Description/Elaboration
! Question / Conjecture
Communication Reason X Sequencing
! Cause and Effect
Reflecting and Evaluation X Compare and Contrast
X Proposition / Support
Language Production - bricks
What content-specific language will students be expected to know and use?
student preferences, choice, distance, cost, cost per student, expensive, science museum, aquarium, zoo, field trip
Language Production - mortar
What functional words and phrases will students be expected to produce?
Prop/Support: recommend, it’s true that, based on, personal preference, for all of these reasons
Compare/Contrast: while, however, whereas, more, less, higher/farther/shorter/etc.
Student Learning Goal
Students will understand how to deconstruct and solve an algebraic story problem and be able to write a note to the teacher explaining a specific proposal for field trip location using mathematical considerations of cost and students’ preferences. (Performance Task Question #4)
Math example: final question on a 6th grade SBAC performance task
Next, deconstruct the ‘moves’ in your sample student response. Use these ‘moves’ as the architecture or plan for the template you will create.
