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.

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

Page 13: Content Literacy Instructional  Shifts for science

SHIFT 4Text-based

Answers

Question:

Draw a model of a cell. Label the parts in the cell and describe the function of each.

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

Page 17: Content Literacy Instructional  Shifts for science

SHIFT 5

Writing from

Sources

Write about a time you were treated unfairly or

dishonestly. Describe the situation and how you

reacted.

Pre-CCLS

Page 18: Content Literacy Instructional  Shifts for science

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

Words • Words of everyday

speech

Tier Two

Words

• Generally not well-defined by context or explicitly defined within a text

• Wide applicability to many types of reading

Tier Three Words
