45. Comprehension Increasing Rigor and Depth of Understanding by… • Reasoning using supporting evidence • Responding to tasks with multiple correct responses • Solving problems and answering questions with multiple steps • Using strategic thinking to plan and respond to task

46. Culminating or Concluding Activity • Demands that students write in response to the text and use evidence • Relates to big ideas and key understanding • Call on the knowledge and understanding acquired through text-based questions • Asks students to identify the central message, theme or author’s intent using supporting evidence from the text • Reflects one or more standard What does rigor look like?

47. Comprehension Example: Culminating Activity 4-5

48. Aligning Comprehension Instruction to CCSS • Read through sample lesson • Concept Questions • Big Idea • Text-based questions • Culminating Activity
