13 Level 1 Literal/Recall Explanation Text Example Question Example Practice Information is stated explicitly (verbatim) in the text. The reader recalls, recites, or reproduces what he/she has read. From ancient times to present, dancers have expressed ideas, stories, and rhythms with their bodies. What three things do dancers (from ancient times to present) express with their bodies? Level 2 Basic Reasoning Level 3 Complex Reasoning Information is not stated verbatim in the text but may be so close to literal that the meaning is obvious. The reader is required to do very little to draw conclusions. The reader is required to link experience with the text to make a prediction, draw a logical conclusion or make a generalization. Dance is strenuous. Many dancers stop performing by their late-thirties but continue to work in the field as choreographers, dance teachers and coaches, or artistic directors. Text provides information about the nature of the work, working conditions, training, qualifications, and employment in the field of dance. Why do many dancers work in the field as choreographers, dance teachers, coaches or artistic directors? Under what circumstances would a person choose dance as a career? Level 4 Extended Thinking The reader is required to express and/or defend an idea. The reader is required to analyze, synthesize, and react to the underlying meaning. Text provides information about the nature of the work, working conditions, training, qualifications, and employment in the field of dance. As a teacher, how would you use the information in this text to teach reading and writing? 13

What did students learn last year? Are there gaps in learning? Is a specific genre represented? Is it a Readiness or Supporting genre? Is there a unique genre challenge? What is the academic vocabulary of the standard? What is the academic vocabulary of teaching and learning? What is the academic vocabulary in the question and/or answer choices? What is the level of comprehension? Does the question look like classroom examples? Consider targeted instruction. Consider instructional time. Consider instructional pacing. Am I using the academic vocabulary? Are there opportunities for students to use the academic vocabulary? Consider rigor (engagement and relevance). Misconception Is there a mistake in learning? Is there a past learning that does not apply now? Is the error caused by guessing, a procedural error or a conceptual error? 17
