Common Core: Fact vs. Fiction | Scholastic.com - 0 views

  • What is informational text? Common Core uses “informational text” as another term for “nonfiction text.”  This category includes historical, scientific, and technical texts that provide students with factual information about the world. Typically, they employ structures such as cause and effect, compare and contrast, and problem and solution. They also contain text features like headlines and boldface vocabulary words.  Because of their narrative structures, biographies and autobiographies do not look like other nonfiction texts. In fact, they are often classified as literary nonfiction. But the Common Core considers them to be informational text as well.  Another category of informational texts includes directions, forms, and information contained in charts, graphs, maps, and digital resources. Simply put, if students are reading it for the information it contains, it’s informational text.

  • ...3 more annotations...
  • Key Shift #3 Rigor: In major topics, pursue conceptual understanding, procedural skills and fluency, and application with equal intensity
  • The keys here are conceptual understanding, procedural skill and fluency, and application
  • Rigor is all about truly understanding the meaning behind the numbers, getting those facts down pat, and then applying all that knowledge to the real world. Conceptual understanding is aided with the use of manipulatives. Give students the hands-on, concrete experiences they need with numbers before making them use pape
