    Has some great ideas of how to incorporate information texts into the classroom.
  • Mrs. Spear on 21 Nov 11
     
    quoted information from the page: "While English classes will still include healthy amounts of fiction, the standards say that students should be reading more nonfiction texts as they get older, to prepare them for the kinds of material they will read in college and careers. In the fourth grade, students should be reading about the same amount from "literary" and "informational" texts, according to the standards; in the eighth grade, 45 percent should be literary and 55 percent informational, and by 12th grade, the split should be 30/70."

    Wow! Do I ever applaud the emphasis on reading for information. Why, kids could use reading trick to educate themselves for a lifetime, and in other disciplines - just imagine!

Washington Post Proposed Texts - 5 views

It's a list of suggested common core standards books at this point. "Those involved with the proposal stress it is neither a comprehensive nor a required reading list."

    This is a good You Tube video on classrooms who have already begun to adapt to the common core standards. Below the video are also many tags to check out.

    To the right are many, many additional video links about the common core standards. Thanks, Mary. Sometimes it's better to watch a video than to simply read.

  • They were were written by public school teachers for public school teachers and are available free of charge to anyone who would like to use them. The maps are flexible and adaptable, yet they address every standard in the CCSS

    Erika: What do you think of the 11th grade maps? Are the six units close to what you have been covering? Do you like the way the maps are designed?
  • Mrs. King on 07 Jul 11
     
    Donna: This is the first time I looked at these maps. I like the format and the list of SUGGESTED reading. I'm definitely realizing that we would need funding for additional novels that we definitely don't teach now. I'm also concerned about "time".... there is a great deal to cover!

    I don't teach 10th grade...but I just looked at the map and it is entirely different than anything our school has ever addressed...

    And, please know that our district is in the infancy stages of transitioning to the common core standards. Mrs. Groller and the principals have a plan for systematic implementation. So, nothing has been decided "exactly" at this point. Wonderful thing is . . . we are building the first conversations around common core for our district, pulling together a lot of great resources, with annotations thanks to Diigo I might add, and will be the most knowledgeable as we move forward. It's always good to be in that spot! At the end of this week, I'm going to blog about our teAch21 Diigo research project on the common core and share it with the rest of the staff. Keep up the good work everyone. You are learning and doing great things with Diigo!

      I looked for quite a while for technology common core standards and couldn't find much.......it seems technology is taught as a tool in all areas, but not listed as a skills set in itself.
  • Technology: While I have not yet had the chance to read every paragraph under every grade level, I believe the writers of both documents have approached technology as a tool, not a set of skills in itself, and mention of technology is found mostly in the more “overarching” sections of the documents.
  • So – what do these standards say about Technology skills for success?
