  7. Unit 1: Learning Objectives Examine the relationship between the content areaof history/social studies and the CA CCSS forELA/Literacy Understand the fundamental purpose, design,and format of the CA CCSS for ELA/Literacy Begin to understand how using history/social studies content can help K–5 students improve literacy skills and build content knowledge to prepare them for college, career, and citizenship in the 21st Century | California Department of Education

  8. The CCSS and History/Social Studies “Note on range and content of student reading: Reading is critical to building knowledge in history/social studies as well as in science and technical subjects. College and career ready reading in these fields requires an appreciation of the norms and conventions of each discipline, such as the kinds of evidence used in history and science; an understanding of domain-specific words and phrases; an attention to precise details; and the capacity to evaluate intricate arguments, synthesize complex information, and follow detailed descriptions of events and concepts. Inhistory/social studies, for example, students need to be able to analyze, evaluate, and differentiate primary and secondary sources. When reading scientific and technical texts, students need to be able to gain knowledge from challenging texts that often make extensive use of elaborate diagrams and data to convey information and illustrate concepts. Students must be able to read complex informational texts in these fields with independence and confidence because the vast majority of reading in college and workforce training programs will be sophisticated nonfiction. It is important to note that these Reading standards are meant to complement the specific content demands of the disciplines, not replace them." | California Department of Education

  9. How Does History/Social Studies Promote Literacy Skills? “Reading proficiency isn't in and of itself the magic key to competence. It's what reading enables us to learn and to do that is critical… The idea that reading skill is largely a set of general-purpose maneuvers that can be applied to any and all texts is one of the main barriers to our students' achievement in reading. It leads to activities that are deadening for agile and eager minds, and it carries big opportunity costs. These activities actually slow down the acquisition of true reading skill. They take up time that could be devoted to gaining general knowledge, which is the central requisite for high reading skill." E.D. Hirsch, Jr., Core Knowledge Foundation The Knowledge Deficit, 2006 | California Department of Education

  10. How Does History/Social Studies Promote Literacy Skills? “Literacy is the key word here, because the teaching of history should have reading and writing at its core. Years ago, this may have been the case, but that time is long gone. In some underfunded schools, teachers struggle to cope with low reading levels by reading the textbook aloud to students so they at least "get the content" (Schoenbach, et. al, Reading for Understanding, 1999). In other classrooms, writing in social studies is increasingly being replaced by PowerPoint assignments, complete with bullet points and animation. But we can no more defend an argument on why the USSR disintegrated using bullet points than we can journey to Moscow on the wings of a Frommer travel guide. Working through successive drafts of the cause-and-effect essay-making sure that paragraphs reflect a logical procession of ideas and that assertions are backed by evidence-is hard and inglorious work, but there are no shortcuts…Skits and posters may be engaging, but leaving students there-engaged but illiterate-amounts to an incomplete lesson that forfeits our claim as educators…This means teaching students to be informed readers, writers, and thinkers about the past as well as the present-a goal all parties should be able to embrace. Our democracy's vitality depends on it.“ Wineburg and Martin, 2004 | California Department of Education

  11. How Does History/Social Studies Promote Literacy Skills? How can educators equip all students with reading, writing, speaking and listening, and language skills and the knowledge, skills and dispositions to become responsible, engaged citizens of the 21st century? | California Department of Education

  12. Teaching Reading is Teaching Content “Teaching Reading is Teaching Content” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RiP-ijdxqEc Reflection Questions: What is one way that you can use the content to develop literacy skills? How does focusing on developing those literacy skills help you teach history/social studies and prepare students for college, career and citizenship? | California Department of Education

  13. Overview of the CA CCSS for ELA/Literacy Using your copy of the California Common Core State Standards for ELA & Literacy review the following sections: Introduction: pp. 1-8 Standards for English Language Arts & Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science and Technical Subjects K-5: pp. 9-39 Standards for English Language Arts 6-12: pp. 45-75 Standards for Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects 6-12: pp. 79-89 | California Department of Education

  14. K—5 Section • Reading: pp. 10-19 • Reading Standards for Literature (RL): pp. 11-13 • Reading Standards for Informational Text (RI): pp. 14–16 • Reading Standards: Foundational Skills (RF) : pp. 17–19 • Writing (W): pp. 20-25 • Speaking and Listening (SL): pp. 26-30 • Language (L): pp. 31–39 | California Department of Education

  15. The College and Career Readiness(CCR) Anchor Standards • Turn to the CCR Anchor Standards for Reading (p. 10) and examine Standard 6. • Examine the same standard in the Reading Standards for Informational Text K–5 (pp. 14-15) for your grade and those before and after it. • Turn to the CCR Anchor Standards for Writing (p. 20) and examine Standard 1 • Examine the same standard in the Writing Standards K–5 (pp. 21–22) for the same grades. • Turn to the CCR Anchor Standards for Speaking and Listening (p. 26) and examine Standard 3. • Examine the same standard in the Speaking and Listening Standards K–5 (pp. 27–29) the same grades. | California Department of Education

  16. Time to Reflect Reflect on the following: What did you learn from the comparison of your grade-level standards with the corresponding College and Career Readiness Anchor Standards? What do you notice that might influence your current instructional practices? | California Department of Education

  17. The Common Core Shifts for ELA/Literacy Source: Student Achievement Partners | California Department of Education

  18. Reading Informational Text in All Content Areas Reading Achievement Gap between Literature and Informational Texts The 2001 and 2006 Progress in International Reading Literacy (PIRLS) study compared the reading achievement of fourth-grade students from 35 nations and examined their abilities to read literature and to read informational texts. The 2001 study found that students from the United States had the largest achievement gap, favoring literature, of all of the nations. By 2006, that gap narrowed only slightly. University of Michigan Professor Nell K. Duke attributes this gap to students’ lack of exposure to and experience with informational texts in elementary schools (Duke 2010). In college and the workplace, non-fiction makes up the vast majority of required reading. | California Department of Education

  19. Reading Informational Text in All Content Areas Background Knowledge Background knowledge has also long been connected to comprehension and reading informational text from all content areas is essential in building this background knowledge (Fisher and Frey, 2009). The CA CCSS for ELA/Literacy demand that students work on literacy in all the content areas to build their understanding of the content being studied. | California Department of Education

  20. Reading Informational Text in All Content Areas Importance of Informational Text The importance of reading and writing informational text is displayed most prominently in the CA CCSS for ELA/Literacy in two ways. At every grade level, there are a set of standards for informational text separate from the set of standards for literature. Beginning in grade 2, Reading Informational Text Standards 3 and 10 call for students to read a wide range of informational text in all content areas: CA.CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RI.2.3:Describe the connection between a series of historical events, scientific ideas or concepts, or steps in technical procedures in a text. CA CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RI.2.10:By the end of the year, read and comprehend informational texts, including history/social studies, science, and technical texts, in the grades 2–3 text complexity band independently and proficiently. | California Department of Education

  21. | California Department of Education

  22. Time to Reflect What do you notice about the spiral effect (how they build on another as they increase in grades) of the standards? What implications might this have for your work with students? How can history/social studies help you meet these standards? | California Department of Education

  23. Close Reading in Elementary School Read “Close Reading in Elementary Schools” by Douglas Fisher and Nancy Frey that presentsa close reading protocol for elementary school teachers. Focus your attention on “Key Features of Close Reading” on pp. 181-182 and “Modifying Close Reading for Elementary Schools” on pp. 182-187. Reflection: From the reading, identify at least two close reading practices that are new to you that you could integrate into history/social studies content. | California Department of Education

  24. Reading Strategies for Content Instruction Five Recommendations for Teaching Informational Text: All teachers should provide explicit instruction and supportive practice in effective comprehension strategies throughout the school day. Increase the amount and quality of open, sustained discussion of reading content. Set and maintain high standards for text, conversation, questions, and vocabulary. Increase students’ motivation and engagement with reading. Teach essential content knowledge so students can master critical concepts. | California Department of Education

  25. Time To Reflect What instructional practices do you/can you use with history/social studies content that align to the recommendations? | California Department of Education

  26. Reading History/Social Studies in Elementary School Read article: “Use the Standards to Teach Skills in Elementary School!” by Karen Parks at http://teachinghistory.org/issues-and-research/roundtable-response/25355 Reflection and Discussion: How do the ideas in the article reflect, extend, or contrast with your instructional practices? | California Department of Education

  27. Reading History/Social Studies in Elementary School Watch “Organize Your Thinking to Critically Analyze Text” video of the“Keep it or Junk it” Strategy: https://www.teachingchannel.org/videos/help-students-analyze-text Reflection and Discussion From your observation of the students in the video, what CA CCSS reading and speaking and listening skills were they developing? What instructional ideas did you gain from the video that you could use to implement the CA CCSS for ELA/Literacy for teaching history/social studies in your classroom? | California Department of Education

  28. Writing Standards K-5 Standard 1 – Writing Opinions/ArgumentsCCSS.ELA-Literacy.CCRA.W.1: Write arguments to support claims in an analysis of substantive topics or texts, using valid reasoning and relevant and sufficient evidence.  Standards 2 – Writing Informative/Explanatory TextsCCSS.ELA-Literacy.CCRA.W.2: Write informative/ explanatory texts to examine and convey complex ideas and information clearly and accurately through the effective selection, organization, and analysis of content. Standard 3 – Writing NarrativesCCSS.ELA-Literacy.CCRA.W.3: Write narratives to develop real or imagined experiences or events using effective technique, well-chosen details, and well-structured event sequences. | California Department of Education

  29. Writing Standards 4-7 Using the CA CCSS for ELA/Literacy, refer to the CCR Anchor Standards for Writing (p. 20) and the Writing Standards K-5 (pp. 21-25). Read Standards 4-7 to see how they are articulated at the different grades. | California Department of Education

  30. Time to Reflect How does the increased emphasis on opinion/argumentative and informative/explanatory writing affect your instructional practices, particularly in history/social studies? | California Department of Education

  31. Speaking and Listening Standards K-5 Read through the Speaking and Listening Standards K-5 on pages 26-30. Reflection and Discussion How does the increase emphasis on formal, academic talk impact your work with your students? How can you address Speaking and Listening Standards in history/social studies? | California Department of Education

  32. Reading, Speaking and Listening, and Writing in History/Social Studies Watch the Three Videos Analyzing Texts: Brainstorm Before Writinghttps://www.teachingchannel.org/videos/analyzing-text-brainstorming Analyzing Texts: “Text Talk Time”https://www.teachingchannel.org/videos/analyzing-text-as-a-group Analyzing Texts: Putting Thoughts on Paperhttps://www.teachingchannel.org/videos/analyzing-text-writing | California Department of Education

  33. Time to Reflect What evidence do you see in the videos that the students are mastering the CA CCSS for Reading, Speaking and Listening, and Writing? What does the teacher do to provide extra scaffolding for her EL students? What instructional practice from the videos will you be most likely to integrate into your history/social studies instruction? | California Department of Education

  34. Language Standards K-5 Conventions of Standard English (Standards 1−2)The first two standards discuss the use of conventions of standard English grammar, usage, and mechanics in formal writing and speaking as well as using language effectively and recognizing language varieties. Knowledge of Language (Standard 3)Standard 3 expects students to understand how to use words, sentences, and punctuation effectively. Vocabulary (Standards 4−6)For Standards 4–6, students will be able to determine word meanings and word nuances as well as acquire general academic and domain-specific words and phrases. The increased emphasis on academic vocabulary is emphasized in the Common Core Shift for ELA/Literacy #3. | California Department of Education

  35. Standards for Literacy in History/Social Studies 6-12 The Standards for Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science and Technical Subjects 6-12 (Standards for Literacy): Complement rather than replace content standards in those subjects Emphasize the necessity for literacy to become a shared responsibility of all teachers in all content areas Are aligned with college and career readiness expectations. Reading Standards for Literacy in History/Social Studies 6-12 pp. 81-82 Writing Standards for Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science and Technical Subjects 6-12 pp.86-89 | California Department of Education

  36. 21st Century Skills & Civic Literacy The Partnership for 21st Century Skills (P21) http://p21.org lists critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and creativity as the four Learning and Innovation Skills or the 4Cs. Calls for mastery of core subjects Integrates 21st century interdisciplinary themes including Civic Literacy P21 Common Core Toolkit http://www.p21.org/storage/documents/P21CommonCoreToolkit.pdf | California Department of Education

Instructional Practices Incorporating the CA CCSS and Civic Learning Preparing Students for College, Career and CITIZENSHIP Civic Education Connection for Grades K-2 on pages 9-12 Civic Education Connection for Grades 3-5 on pages 19-21 Activity: Identify one activity from the Preparing Students for College Career and Citizenship guide for your grade level that you could implement in your classroom to develop both literacy and history/social studies. | California Department of Education

  39. Unit 1 Conclusion Mission Statement“The Common Core State Standards provide a consistent, clear understanding of what students are expected to learn, so teachers and parents know what they need to do to help them. The standards are designed to be robust and relevant to the real world, reflecting the knowledge and skills that our young people need for success in college and careers. With American students fully prepared for the future, our communities will be best positioned to compete successfully in the global economy." —Source: Common Core State Standards Initiative | California Department of Education

  40. The Standards are Important but Insufficient“To be effective in improving education and getting students ready for college, workforce training, and life, the Standards must be partnered with a content-rich curriculum and robust assessments, both aligned to the Standards." —Source: Common Core State Standards Initiative | California Department of Education

  41. The Promise of Standards“These Standards are not intended to be new names for old ways of doing business. They are a call to take the next step. It is time for states to work together to build on lessons learned from two decades of standards based reforms. It is time to recognize that standards are not just promises to our children, but promises we intend to keep." —Source: Common Core State Standards Initiative | California Department of Education
