6 Using TaskRotations to Address Common Core State Standards This section highlights two features of this book designed to help teachers address Common Core State Standards: the Common Core Corner and the Common Core Alignment Index. Common Core Corner Each Task Rotation in this book comes with a standards correlation tool called a Common Core Corner (as seen below). This Task Rotation can help you meet these K-5 standards > R.CCR: 1, 2, 3, 5*, 10 esp. RL.2.5 > W.CCR: 1, 4, 10 > SL.CCR: 4 > L.CCR: 1, 2 The purpose of the Common Core Corner is to tell you which College and Career Readiness Anchor Standards (known simply as Anchor Standards ) in Reading (R.CCR), Writing (W.CCR), Speaking and Listening (SL.CCR), and Language (L.CCR) a particular Task Rotation can help you address. For example, the Common Core Corner above goes with the Task Rotation called What s the Story? (p. 46). This Common Core Corner indicates that this Task Rotation can help you address Anchor Standards 1, 2, 3, 5, and 10 in Reading, Anchor Standards 1, 4, and 10 in Writing, Anchor Standard 4 in Speaking and Listening, and Anchor Standards 1 and 2 in Language. Task Rotations are aligned with Anchor Standards (rather than grade-specific standards) because Task Rotations are designed to be used at multiple grade levels and adapted freely by teachers; however, some Task Rotations align particularly well with grade-specific standards. In these cases, the Anchor Standard is followed by an asterisk (*) and the relevant grade-specific standard is identified to the right. For example, esp. RL.2.5 in the Common Core Corner above tells you that this Task Rotation addresses standard 5 in the Reading Literature strand at grade 2 particularly well.

Where does the story take place? When does it take place? If you can answer these questions, then you know the story s setting. As you read, look for clues that tell you where and when the story takes place. Then think about how the setting affects the story. Setting the Scene You and Your Setting Different settings affect your behavior. Pick two types of settings and describe how you would act or behave in each. MASTERY Collect some words that help you visualize the setting of the story. What words tell about where the story takes place?

Product Key Product - Reading in Style: Differentiated Reading Activities for Fiction, Nonfiction, and Poetry Company - Silver Strong & Associates What aspects of this product did you like most? The current research, the emphasis on Gardner's multiple intelligence research, reproducible activities to use in the classroom that reach all learners, the emphasis on learning and reading styles. It was easy to read - not wordy, had a large font, straightforward. I liked that it was very easy to use! The differentiated strategies were very helpful in today s diverse classrooms. I appreciated that this book was an "easy and quick" read. It felt good to be able to open up any page and find a little tip that could improve my teaching. As the title states, this book truly differentiated learning and could be adapted into most classrooms. The connection to multiple intelligences was key for me. Again, another way for true differentiation to occur. Using this book truly would assist a teacher in getting to know a students learning and reading needs and would support a teacher in fulfilling those needs. I love how this book focuses on how reading is a "deeply personal act". The task rotations for fiction, non-fiction and poetry are great to use with the students. The reproducibles are really directed towards engaging students in their reading. It was a quick reference tool and easy to read. I liked the layout of the chapters. The information was teacher friendly and opened you up to new strategies and ideas. The ideas in the book are amazing and I can't wait to use more of them next year. I also like how full size copies are available on the website. How would this product need to improve to better support your curriculum? I saw nothing to improve upon. I love this book!!!!! I have no suggestions as this book was wonderful. I know the additional printable resources were available online, but for me, it is always a challenge to take the time to find those. Even if the book needed to be a little larger and cost a little more, I would have liked those resources to be included in the book. Most of the resources were geared toward around 2nd grade and up (when using independently). As a kindergarten teacher, I would have liked some choices for K-1. Even some task rotations that had more pictures to show how students needed to respond so non readers could respond about a book read a loud to them. This book is geared towards older kids. It would be great if they could create some task rotations that are geared towards beginning readers who are just learning to read, because the strategies in this book are great for young learners as well! A cd with the BLM would have been helpful. I understand you can download them from the website, but having it all together instead of having to search for it is always helpful. Honestly this is my favorite thing so far and I can't think of a way to improve it. How did you make use of the product, or integrate it into your lesson plans? I read the book and shared it with my administration. I would love to see this book used as a school-wide book study. I used the "What a character" page with upper grade students when teaching characterization. I used several of the lessons provided with different groups in my classroom. I used this product in small groups of higher level students. Students completed surveys and used the task rotations during our readers' workshop time. I also used parts of the book to create student self evaluations and
11 reading "menus". There were several other tips to glean from the book that I could integrate into my readers workshop mini lessons. I ended up modifying several of the lessons to fit in with my kindergarten literacy curriculum. I used it to help change up reading groups within my classroom. We did the activity on page 42, Readers take action which my students really enjoyed doing. The students are able to do different activities which covers every learning style. What skills did your students learn from this product? Reading for purpose, discovering character traits on their own. They learned different styles of literature and how to comprehend them. My students learned comprehension skills such as connections, mental images, inferring, comparing and contrasting, parts of a story, synthesizing, questioning, and predicting. They also learned about multiple intelligences and learned about themselves as a reader. They learned how they could better support themselves as a reader and thinker. I think that it got them thinking creatively as well as helped expose them to different genres. They learned different strategies and ways to make reading more interesting based on their learning styles. My students learned how to do different activities for reading. They were able to draw pictures to illustrate things that they read. If funds were available, would you recommend this product to another teacher at the appropriate grade/age level? Please explain why or why not. YES!!! It is practical, easy to use, research-based. It is not just another book study book that we read and put away on the shelf. Mine is already looking "well-read" as I refer to it often. I have always been a Gardner and a learning styles fan. I've used strategies from both in the classroom throughout the years with more success than any "bandwagon" I've jumped on. I look forward to implementing the activities from this book next year. I would definitely recommend this to any teacher. The differentiated strategies helped make sure all of my students were getting what they needed to learn about different styles of literature. It was very engaging for them all! Yes, at the second grade level and up in elementary school, I am certain this book would support young learners in a meaningful way. By using the strategies in this book, learning becomes extremely authentic. Worksheets with contrived answers don't open the minds of readers, but the activities in this book do! It would be helpful to both new and experienced teachers alike. The activities included are very multi-level and would certainly meet the needs of all learners in a hands-on, engaging way. I think this is great and would recommend it to all 2nd grade and up elementary teachers! The lessons are fun and engaging! Yes: It is a great reference tool. It is age and grade level appropriate. Yes I love this book and I would recommend this book to everyone. The ideas are amazing and I can't wait to use it more.
