BALANCING INFORMATIONAL &
LITERARY TEXTSRange of Text
TypesLiterature =
Stories, Dramas, Poetry
Informational = Literary
Nonfiction, Historical,
Scientific, & Technical Texts
50% fiction 50% nonfiction
40% fiction 60% nonfiction
20% fiction 80% nonfiction

Grades6-12
KNOWLEDGE IN THE DISCIPLINES
Reading & Writing Literacy
Standards • Complement
, not replace content standards
Depending on text rather
than referring to it
• Read a president’s speech & write a response
• Read scientific papers & write an analysis
Think sophisticated
non-fiction• Analyze and
evaluate texts within disciplines
• Gain knowledge from texts that convey complex information through diagrams, charts, evidence, & illustrations
Expectation of rigorous
domain specific literacy
instruction outside of
ELA

SHIFT 3Staircase of Complexity
PRE-CCLSThe cell membrane is a thin , flexible barrier around the cell. Many cells also have a strong layer around the cell membrane known as the cell wall...
Some cells also have a nucleus, a large structure that contains the cell’s genetic material and controls the cell’s activities. The material inside the cell’s membrane – but not including the nucleus – is called the cytoplasm. The cytoplasm contains many important structures.
SHIFT 3
Staircase of
Complexity
POST-CCLSUnder the microscope, a cell looks a lot like a fried egg: It has a white (the cytoplasm) that’s full of water and proteins to keep it fed, and a yolk (the nucleus) that holds all the genetic information that makes you you. The cytoplasm buzzes like a New York City street. It’s crammed full of molecules and vessels endlessly shuttling enzymes and sugars from one part of the cell to another, pumping water, nutrients, and oxygen in and out of the cell. All the while, little cytoplasmic factories work 24/7, cranking out sugars, fats, proteins, and energy to keep the whole thing running and feed the nucleus – the brains of the operation.
SHIFT 4
TEXT-BASED ANSWERS
Questions tied directly to the
text, but extend beyond
the literal
Students must cite text to
support answers
Personal opinions,
experiences, and
connections to the text are minimized in favor of what
the text actually says or doesn’t say
Questions are purposefully planned &
direct students to
closely examine the
text
SHIFT 4Text-based
Answers
Question:
Draw a model of a cell. Label the parts in the cell and describe the function of each.

SHIFT 4Text-based
Answers
Question:
Analyze the author’s similes to describe the cell. How does her language choice convey the function and structure of a cell?
Use specific examples from the texts to support your answer.

WRITING FROM SOURCES
Three Text Types
Argument
Supporting a claim with sound reasoning and relevant evidenceInformational
/Explanatory Writing
Increase subject knowledgeExplain a processEnhance comprehension
Narrative Writing
Conveys experience i.e. fictional stories, memoirs, anecdotes, autobiographies
Appendix C: Samples of
Student Writing
Argumentative writing is especially
prominent in the CCLS
SHIFT 5
Writing from
Sources
Write about a time you were treated unfairly or
dishonestly. Describe the situation and how you
reacted.
Pre-CCLS
SHIFT 5
Writing from
Sources
Select a bio ethics article to read. Write a critical essay in which
you discuss the article you have chosen and The Immortal Life of
Henrietta Lacks from the perspective provided in the
quote.Provide a
valid interpretation of the quote.
Agree or disagree with the quote as
you’ve interpreted it.
Support your opinion using
specific references
from the two works listed
above.
Post-CCLS
“We must not seeany person as an abstraction. Instead, we must see in every person a universe with itsown secrets, with its own treasures, with its own sources of anguish, and with some measure of triumph.”
~Elie Wiesel

ACADEMIC VOCABULARY
Tier One
Words • Words of everyday
speech
Tier Two
Words
• Not specific to any one academic area
• Generally not well-defined by context or explicitly defined within a text
• Wide applicability to many types of reading
Tier Three Words
• Domain specific• Low-frequency• Often explicitly defined • Heavily scaffolded
