COMMON CORE ACADEMY REVIEW
& IDEASNicki Slaugh
Good Morning Song (Happy Birthday to You) Good morning to you, Good morning to you.I’m so glad to see you, good morning to you! – I’m glad you’re here.
– (kids need to be in seats, facing forward by the end of the song)
WHEN WRITING IS PUT INTO THE PROPER PERSPECTIVE; ACHIEVEMENT
SOARS.
IT’S TIME TO RE-EXAMINE IF THE INHERITED CULTURE AND TRADITIONS OF TEACHING WRITING ARE LEADING
TO DESIRED OUTCOMES.
STAMINA, STRENGTH AND FLEXIBILITY GET US TO THE FINISH LINE
SUCCESSFULLY.
DESIRED OUTCOMES OF TODAY…IF NOTHING ELSE, WE GET THESE THINGS DONE!
Our Constitution!•“Can Do” feeling
•Common Core Template
•Understand the Common Core better
•Writing Focus
•Cooperative Learning Ideas
1. What is the essential question I would like students to engage?2. What is the intended outcome of student learning? What will the final product be?3. Have I developed a rubric or assessment list to define elements and level of quality of the expected outcome or product?4. What digital resources will I use to support lesson activities, assignments, or the final product?5. What kind of writing will instruction and/or the intended outcome result in e.g.
To Persuade (supported opinion, argumentation, building a case),To Explain (an explanation, a report of findings, a statement of information), orTo Convey (a narrative written to convey facts, a narrative written to tell a story).
Common Core Template
6. What strategies will I use to move students through multiple revisions of the document?
7. What are the narrative texts I will have students read to gain background on the question?
8. What are the informational texts I will have students read to gain facts and information about the question?
9. What instructional activity will you use to put students in groups (providing instruction and practice in speaking, listening, and collaborating)?
10. When and in what structure will I critically examine this student work, and discuss the instruction with colleagues?
STUDY, TELL, HELP, CHECK Study the template
Partner 1 tells all they remember without looking at the template
Partner 2 helps by questioning, giving hints, or adding additional information
When both partners have told all they can remember, they look at the template and check their responses
THE TEACHER IS “THE ESSENTIAL FORCE FOR IMPROVING STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT.” SOLMON & SCHIFF, “TALENTED TEACHERS,”
2004 Take out your THINK PAD!
Quick Jot: In your “Think Pad” Write one word (or more) about how you are feeling, share with a neighbor. (Pair Share)
Discuss as a whole with class concerns and celebrations.
THE COMMON CORE VS. UTAH CORE Still focuses on the foundational skills of
decoding, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension with an increased emphasis on writing
Organized under four strands: Reading, Writing, Speaking and Listening, and Language
THE COMMON CORE VS. UTAH CORE Additional skills in the Common Core :
Production of opinion/argumentative (persuasive), informational/explanatory, and narrative writing.
Increased exposure to informational text structures.
Increased range and complexity of text Greater emphasis of digital technology Provide opportunities for shared learning Shift to performance based evaluation

Number Heads Together sharing idea. (I will give you each a number before you start, then I will roll the dice, the person with that number is the one that shares)
QUICK WRITE PROMPT IN YOUR THINK PAD: DIVIDE INTO FOUR SECTIONS
Do you teach writing in a certain block of time?
Do you have your students write throughout the day?
What strategies help your writing to be successful?
What do you need to learn about teaching writing?
Complete one box, then Pair Share…until all four boxes are complete.
GRADUAL RELEASE OF RESPONSIBILITY:READING AND WRITING
WHAT IS WRITERS WORKSHOP? Explicit teaching with
Time to practiceTime to share
Occurs during the writing block Focused Writing Provides feedback
Check the interest level for a later training Share examples and experiences
Focus on 4 Quick Techniques
1. Quick Jots2. Quick Tries3. Quick Writes4. Thinking Boxes
TREAT STUDENTS LIKE REAL WRITERS AND THEY WILL VIEW THEMSELVES AS AND BEHAVE LIKE REAL WRITERS. GIVING THEM CHOICE, RESPECT, AND SERIOUS-MINDED INSTRUCTION WHILE SHOWING THEM THE JOYS OF WRITING WORK WONDERS.
*She
suggests at least 3 jaunts into the Think Pad a day!
These are quick
moments to
think, jot down,
question, list,
brainstorm or
respond!
Any time you want to ask a
question, get an opinion, or check
students’ understanding may be a good
“Think Pad time.”
QUICK JOT
QUICK JOT
Provide a type of practice after students have
had explicit instruction toward a
learning goal.
Let’s turn to page 31 in your handout… I love the
Vocabulary and Math one.. I actually love them ALL!!! But we will just go over
those two today!
QUICK TRY
QUICK TRY
The students get more time on these. They
allow for more sustained writing in
one shot.
Make sure you go over
the Rules for a Quick
Write. She sets a timer
for 7-10 minutes.
As a teacher, she
participates in the Quick
Writes also with her
prompt provided. She
models appropriate
responses during sharing,
and her writing as she
would expect them to.
QUICK WRITE
QUICK WRITE
They work on one box at a time,
under your direction,
then quickly share.
Can be used in
any subject
area!
Can be used as Formative Assessment!
Way better than
having kids fill out a
worksheet!
THINKING BOXES
1) took notes on facts explicitly stated; 2) synthesize info and draw conclusion;
3) connect to personal experience and schema; 4) make an inference from quote

This editing strategy can take place when the teacher meets one on one with a student, or small group
After student have done peer editing Students listen for things they love Things they wish could be better Hearts: after the reading each student in the circle
comments on what they loved ie beginning, strong words. On a heart sticky notes teacher makes notes
Wishes: Same protocol but put you notes on a cloud or star sticky.
Students take their notes back to their desk and make the changes needed.

With guidance and support from adults, use technology to produce and publish writing (using keyboarding skills) as well as to interact and collaborate with others.
RESEARCH TO BUILD AND PRESENT KNOWLEDGEW.3.7 AND W.3.8 Conduct short research projects that
build knowledge about a topic.
Recall information from experiences or gather information from print and digital sources; take brief notes on sources and sort evidence into provided categories.

We will use the moon as our topic over the next few activities.
We will model components of teaching I/E writing, discuss instruction and the common core.

Partner 1 is the ‘slasher’, partner 2 is the namer.
Partner 2 names as many things as they can about the moon is 30 seconds, partner 1 tallies how many partner one gets.

ACTIVATE PRIOR KNOWLEDGEORAL LANGUAGE
On your own, write facts you know about the moon in a list form in your THINK PAD.
With your 12 o’clock appointment partner, share and add to your lists about the moon. Partner 1 shares one fact. If partner 2
doesn’t have it on their list they add itSwitch rolesContinue until entire lists are shared

THINKING BOXES: WAGSTAFF, PG. 33THE MOON BY SEYMOUR SIMON
When we are teaching Informative/Explanatory writing, we don’t just want our students to summarize one text, we want to use many books and other resources to learn about the topic and to pull information from.
Receive USOE Moon Book In your groups, add to your lists
RI 3.9: Compare/contrast the most important points and key details presented in two texts on the same topic.
Stephanie Harvey- I always used articles, magazines, let
them print info. from the web, go to the library..and so
on when we were researching a topic. Then
used some of S.H. techniques. Totally fits with
new CC.

DIFFERENT WAYS TO TAKE NOTES AND GATHER INFORMATION
Focus on Arguments and Persuasive Writing
A SPECIAL PLACE OF ARGUMENT IN THE STANDARDS
ROUNDTABLE -How you have taught persuasion and what does it looks like compared to opinion/argumentation? (Pass a paper around and everyone writes their answer, no one can write the same as someone else.)
Read pp. 24-25 in Appendix A
Highlight any questions/concerns you have
ARGUMENTATIVE / PERSUASION
ArgumentConvinces the
audience because of the perceived merit
Reasonableness of claims

Use dialogue and descriptions of actions, thoughts, and feelings to develop experiences and events or show the response of characters to situations
Use temporal words and phrases to signal event order
Provide a sense of closure

NARRATIVE WRITING Conveys experience (real or imaginary) Uses time as its deep structure Can be used for many purposes:
To inform, instruct, persuade, or entertain Students often produce narratives in the
form of: Creative fictional stories, memoirs,
anecdotes, and autobiographies
