  7. Time – In and Out of the Text • More instructional time spent outside the text means less time inside the text. • Departing from the text in classroom discussion privileges only those who already have experience with the topic. • It is easier to talk about our experiences than to analyze the text—especially for students reluctant to engage with reading. • The CCSS are College and Career Readiness Standards. (DSCYFEducation, 2013)

  8. Text-Dependent Questions are not… • Low-level, literal, or recall questions • Focused on comprehension strategies • Just questions…

  9. Text-Dependent Questions... • Can only be answered with evidence from the text. • Can be literal (checking for understanding) but must also involve analysis, synthesis, evaluation. • Focus on word, sentence, and paragraph, as well as larger ideas, themes, or events. • Focus on difficult portions of text in order to enhance reading proficiency. • Can also include prompts for writing and discussion questions.

  10. Three Types of Text-Dependent Questions • When you're writing or reviewing a set of questions, consider the following three categories: • Questions that assess themes and central ideas • Questions that assess knowledge of vocabulary • Questions that assess syntax and structure
