Reading short, rich informational text Building content knowledge through text Use critical reading strategies to analyze text

construction & message(s) Answering evidence based questions Participating in evidence based discussions &

written responses Using word solving strategies to determine

meaning of key academic vocabulary words in the text

Identifying/ Using the Common Frame in A Written

Response/ Text Beginning

-Claim (topic sentence or thesis statement)-Intro (lists main points, background info, etc.)

Middle-Supporting Reasons or Details-Evidence (quotes, statistics, stories, etc.)-Elaboration of evidence & connection to the claim

End -Summary of main points -Clinching sentence leaves reader w/ something to think about

Transitions and transitional phrases

Teaching the Written

Response Modeled (Lots of examples of quality responses & the

actual thinking process that takes place when writing a response)

Shared (Time to write responses together as a class)

Guided (Time to work on writing various parts of a response & eventually the whole response with support/ immediate feedback)

Independent (Time to practice writing responses independently with specific feedback from peers & teacher)

Gradually handing over responsibility/the thinking and letting students take on the thinking independently.

Based on the research of Pearson, et al, 1983

Determine where your students are with:

Previewing text Annotating text Identifying the outline of text Comparing & contrasting text Identifying author’s purpose, message, point of view, etc.

Determine where your students are with: Developing a claim (writing a topic sentence or thesis) Using supporting reasons/ details Using evidence & connecting the evidence to the claim Using tools such as transitions and similes to strengthen the

clarity of their writing

Getting Started

Page 9: William Dove, High School English Teacher, Spencer-Van Etten Central School District Dr. Jennifer Dove, Director of Literacy & Humanities,

Start small (build in the learning)

Identify where students are within the frame

Gradually add to the frame throughout the year

Building the Frame

Paperless system

Public performance (authentic audience)

On-line portfolio (see growth overtime)

Individual & public feedback via wiki

Using the Wiki

Page 12: William Dove, High School English Teacher, Spencer-Van Etten Central School District Dr. Jennifer Dove, Director of Literacy & Humanities,

Use for Data Driven Instruction

Use for individual student writing conferences

Use for parent conferences

Use to inform grades and comments on report cards

Tracking Data
