  1. Indiana Standards (2014) Text-dependent Instruction in English/Language Arts

  2. Today’s Agenda: Assessment Information The “3 Big Ideas” in the new ELA IAS Text-dependent Instruction Making Connections

  3. Assessment Information for English/Language Arts • ELA Blueprints • Instructional and Assessment Guidance • Sample Applied Skills Items/ Rubrics

  4. Blueprints

  5. Blueprints Reading: Literature- Questions are based on a range of grade-level literature and may include analyzing and making inferences about literary elements and themes… Reading: Nonfiction and Media Literacy- Questions are based on a range of grade-level nonfiction and may include analyzing how central ideas are conveyed over the course of a text… Reading: Vocabulary- Questions are based on determining or clarifying the literal and nonliteral meanings of words and phrases and their uses in literature and nonfiction texts…

  6. Blueprints Writing: Genres, Writing Process, Research Process- Questions may include argument, informative, or narrative writing in response to literature and nonfiction texts. . .

  7. Instructional and Assessment Transition Guidance • Purpose: Provide guidance at the standard-level regarding the assessment to assist in instructional decisions • IDOE Assessment

  8. Applied Skills Items ISTEP+ Part 1 – Applied Skills Sample Items: The following items are samples, designed to use with • teachers, as part of professional development and • students, to familiarize them with items aligned to the college- and career-ready 2014 Indiana Academic Standards.

  9. Applied Skills Items • There will be two types of sessions for Applied Skills: • A passage with constructed response questions and an extended response • A passage or passage pairing with a few multiple choice questions and a writing prompt

  10. Excerpt from The Call of the Wildby Jack London Grade 8 Constructed-Response: How does Buck change after he is rescued by John Thornton? Support your response with details from the excerpt.

  11. Constructed Response Rubric English/ Language Arts 2-point Constructed-Response (CR) Rubric 2 points Proficient The response fulfills all the requirements of the task. The information given is text-based and relevant to the task. 1 point Partially Proficient The response fulfills some of the requirements of the task, but some of the information may be too general, too simplistic, or not supported by the text. 0 point Not Proficient The response does not fulfill the requirements of the task because it contains information that is inaccurate, incomplete, and/or missing altogether.

  12. Excerpt from The Call of the Wildby Jack London Excerpt from The Call of the Wildby Jack London Grade 8 Extended-Response: You have just read an excerpt from The Call of the Wild. How is Buck a reflection of John Thornton? Using examples from the excerpt, write an essay that discusses how Buck’s behavior is a result of his interactions with John Thornton and his dogs. Support your response with details from the excerpt.

  13. 2014 ISTEP+ Writing Prompt

  14. “The Benefits of Homework” Grade 8 Writing Prompt: You have read the article “The Benefits of Homework.” The author makes the claim that homework can positively affect student performance in school. Think about the evidence the author provides and consider if it fully supports the claim. Using details from the article, write an argument analyzing how effectively the author supports this claim. Be sure to include: -your position on how well the author supports the claim -details from the article to support your position -an introduction, a body, and a conclusion

  15. Designing the Spring 2015 ISTEP+ End of Course Assessments (ECAs) • Spring 2015 ECAs will include two components: • Graduation examination • Aligned to IAS (2000 Algebra I, 2006 English 10) • Accountability assessment • Aligned to CCR IAS (2014 Algebra I and English 10) • Watch for additional ECA updates coming later this fall!

  16. Acuity Assessments • Acuity for Algebra I and English 10 • Continue Predictive forms for the ECAs • Assesses Graduation Examination content • NEW CCR-aligned items for use by teachers • Assesses accountability assessment content

  17. Big Idea #1 Regular practice with complextext and its academic language. Remember: assessment items will be based on a student’s ability to comprehend complex text and cite evidence from it.

  18. Determining Text Complexity

  19. Task #1Text Complexity

  20. Scaffolding for Reading Complex Text – Handout! • Chunking • Reading and Rereading • Read Aloud • Strategic Think Aloud • Scaffolding Questions • Heterogeneous Small Groups • Paraphrasing and Journaling • Recording • Preparing struggling readers to support confidence and participation • Annotation Strategies • Cornell Note-Taking Method

  21. Vocabulary Tiers

  22. Task #2 Academic Language

  23. Big Idea #2 www.achievethecore.org Using evidence from a text, excerpt, or passage when writing and speaking. Remember: the new assessments will require students to cite evidence.

  24. Evidence from Text – why so important? College and workplace writing requires evidence Evidence is a major emphasis: Reading, Writing, Speaking and Listening, and Media Literacy

  25. Evidence from Text – why so important? Ability to cite evidence differentiates strong from weak student performance on NAEP. Ability to locate and cite evidence are hallmarks of strong readers and writers.

  26. Close Analytic Reading • Requires prompting students with text-dependent questions to unpack complex text and gain knowledge. • Text dependent questions require text-based answers – evidence. • Not teacher summarizing text, but guiding students through the text for information. • Virtually every standard is activated during the course of every close analytic reading exemplar through the use of text dependent questions. • Supports fluency

  27. Text Dependent Questions Focus students on key parts of text Scaffold key knowledge and information Provide practice for mastering text Require students to discover and cite evidence from text

  28. Sample Text-Dependent Questions 1. “It woke up the old Okeechobee and the monster began to roll in his bed.” Who or what is the monster? What other images in the passage support your interpretation? (9-10.RL.2.1) 2. Based on the language and imagery in paragraph 2, what natural event is about to happen? Give examples of specific words and figures of speech that make clear the event and suggest the mood in the passage. (9-10RV.3.1)

  29. Text-Dependent Questions are NOT… Literal or recall questions: What is the name of the lake in Florida where the characters live? Comprehension-based questions: Why did the characters huddle in their cabin instead of fleeing? Personal responses to the text: Write about a time when you were frightened by a violent storm or some other act of nature.

  30. Task #3Text-Dependent Questions

  31. Big Idea #3 Integration of Multiple Standards

  32. Task #4Integration of Multiple Standards

  33. Making Connections Exit Cards The most important thing I learned today was... I need help with... I need help with...
