The Same Kind of Different as Me

▪ Why are our differences important?

▪ How can we use our similarities and/or differences to promote professional growth and development?

Learning Targets

▪ I can identify commonalities between ELA and History.

▪ I can analyze various text sets for use in my classroom.

Why Text Sets?

▪ R..CCR.7 Integrate and evaluate content presented in diverse media formats, including visually and quantitatively, as well as in words.

▪ R.CCR.9 Analyze how two or more texts address similar themes or topics in order to build knowledge or to compare the approaches to the author’s take.

▪ W.CCR.8 Gather relevant information from multiple print and digital sources, assess the credibility and accuracy of each source, and integrate the information while avoiding plagiarism.
