1 RL. 1.1 Ask and answer questions about key details in a text. CCR Anchor: Read closely to determine what the text says explicitly and to make logical inferences from it, cite specific textual evidence when writing or speaking to support conclusions drawn from the text. ULTIMATE LEARNING TARGET TYPE: KNOWLEDGE Ohio s Learning Standards Clear Learning Targets 2015 BROAD LEARNING TARGET: Essential Understanding Make reasonable predictions as they read Ask and answer questions which begin with who, what, where, when, why, how. Ask and answer questions about key details *Extended Understanding Authors include key details in literary texts, which can help a reader ask and answer questions. Good readers know a question is different from a statement and requires an answer. Academic Vocabulary/Language Question / Ask Answer Prediction Infer Evidence Key Details 5 W s + H questions The student can refer to the text and use evidence from the text to support an analysis of what it says and inferences it makes. Underpinning Knowledge Learning Targets: The student can identify key details. The student can ask questions about key details in a text. The student can answer questions about key details in a text.

2 Question Ideas Who is the story about? What do you know about them? What is the story about? When does it take place? Where does it take place? How did the story end? Why did the character make that choice? Common Core Appendices Support Appendix B Sample Performance Task: Students (with prompting and support from the teacher) when listening to Laura Ingalls Wilder s Little House in the Big Woods ask questions about the events that occur (such as the encounter with the bear) and answer by offering key details drawn from the text. Ohio Department of Education Model Curriculum Instructional Strategies and Resources 5Ws Use a light-colored glove or have the students trace their hand and cut it out that has the five Ws and an H (who, what, when, where, why and how) where the Ws are written on the fingers and the H on the palm. Use this as a visual cue for students to ask and answer the five Ws and H of the selected text. As they share the story, they indicate by wiggling the finger of the question they are answering. Once they become confident doing this, a large graphic organizer of a glove can be used in student-led small groups. Growing Readers by Kathy Collins (Stenhouse, Portland, ME, 2004) provides information about planning independent reading workshops as part of classroom instruction. Ideas for building students independence and comprehension as readers are discussed. Making the Most of Small Groups: Differentiation for All by Debbie Diller (Stenhouse, Portland, ME, 2007) provides lesson ideas and prompts for small groups that support reading comprehension.

Common Core Appendices Support Appendix B Performance Tasks for Stories and Poetry Students retell Arnold Lobel s Frog and Toad Together while demonstrating their understanding of a central message or lesson of the story (e.g., how friends are able to solve problems together or how hard work pays off). [RL.1.2] Ohio Department of Education Model Curriculum Instructional Strategies and Resources Comprehension Connections: Bridges to Strategic Reading by Tanny McGregor (Heinemann, Portsmouth, NH, 2007) offers ideas for making abstract reading strategies accessible to elementary readers by using concrete, engaging techniques. Enduring Understanding Imaginative texts can provide rich and timeless insights into universal themes, dilemmas and social realities of the world in which we live. Literary text represents complex stories in which the reflective and apparent thoughts and actions of human beings are revealed. Life therefore shapes literature and literature shapes life. CCS English Language Arts Academic Content Standards Crosswalk Correlations 1RPC-Draw conclusions from information in the text. RL.K.2 (Prior Grade Standard) With prompting and support, retell familiar stories, including key details.

Common Core Appendices Support Appendix B Sample Performance Task: Students (with prompting and support from the teacher) describe the relationship between key events of the overall story of Little Bear by Else Holmelund Minarik to the corresponding scenes illustrated by Maurice Sendak. [RL.K.7] Competent readers can synthesize information from a variety of sources including print, audio and visual. Comparing and contrasting text in a variety of forms or genres provides a full understanding of the author s message/theme as well as the ideas being explored. Ohio Department of Education Model Curriculum Instructional Strategies and Resources Character Comparison Read aloud and compare two books about similar characters. After reading, create a word/picture bank to describe each character. Use this bank to compare/contrast the lives/experiences of the characters (i.e., Venn Diagram, T-Chart, etc.). After revisiting the books, students and the teacher create timelines to compare/contrast the life experiences of these characters. Picture Walk Teach and model how to take a picture walk to preview a text before reading. This includes using the pictures to make predictions about what might happen and then checking those predictions as they read. After reading, students use the pictures to prompt their retelling of characters, setting and events. CCS English Language Arts Academic Content Standards Crosswalk Correlations1RPA-Establish a purpose for reading and use a range of reading comprehension strategies to understand literary passages and text. RL.K.7 (Prior Grade Standard) RL.2.7 (Future Grade Standard) With prompting and support, describe the relationship between illustrations and the story in which they appear (e.g., what moment in a story an illustration depicts).

Underpinning Knowledge Learning Targets: The student can identify characteristics of poetry. The student can identify texts on their reading level (i.e. Lexile level). The student can monitor his/her own comprehension. The student can identify a poem.

18 Question Ideas Is this poetry? How do you know? Which words helped you identify this as a poem? Common Core Appendices Support Appendix A Text Complexity (pages 2-16 address all aspects of text complexity) Why Text Complexity Matters Surprisingly, what chiefly distinguished the performance of those students who had earned the benchmark score [on the ACT] or better from those who had not was not their relative ability in making inferences while reading or answering questions related to particular cognitive processes, such as determining main ideas or determining the meaning of words and phrases in context. Instead, the clearest differentiator was students ability to answer questions associated with complex texts. Ohio Department of Education Model Curriculum Instructional Strategies and Resources Poem A Day Share a poem a day with students. Focus on using short poetry so that the texts can be placed on chart paper for all students to see. Compare poems over multiple days by experimenting with rhyme and rhythm. Ask readers to classify poems as make believe or real as a precursor to genre study. Charlotte Huck s Children s Literature: A Brief Guide by Barbara Kiefer and Cynthia Tyson (McGraw-Hill, 2009) provides criteria for evaluating literature for quality, strategies for using books in the classroom and methods for developing a literature-based program. RL.K.10 (Prior Grade Standard) Actively engage in group reading activities with purpose and understanding. RL.2.10 (Future Grade Standard) By the end of the year, read and comprehend literature, including stories, dramas, and poetry, in the grades 2-3 text complexity band proficiently, with scaffolding as needed at the high end of the range.
