Unpacking the MS PARCC Progressions

Activity: An Integrated Approach:

Let’s revisit the Grade 8 Speaking and Listening Standardshttp://www.corestandards.org/ELA-Literacy/SL/8

Watch 2 minutes and 10 seconds of the video and consider how a student might respondhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-l2CaJATHDc

Preparing students for SP & L in PARCC

1. Real Time Engagement (MODE 1) performances will entail real time engagement in the speaking and listening process. Students will listen to a pre-recorded speech and/or media production and speak/respond using spontaneous oral responses. Mode 1 performance based tasks will be administered in grades 3, 5, 7, 9, and 11.

2. Advance Preparation (MODE 2) performances will entail advance preparation in the speaking and listening process. Students will perform research using authentic and grade-appropriate topics, share their findings in the form of a formal presentation (speaking) and respond spontaneously to audience questions (listening and speaking); Mode 2 performance based tasks will be administered in grades 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12.

Now, let’s review the Speaking and Listening expectations for

PARCC

How can teachers implement speaking and listening skills in daily instruction in order to prepare students for Real Time Engagement and Advance Preparation?

Instructional Implications

1) What “tools” (strategies) do teachers need to facilitate rich discussions?

2) Reflect on the “tools” in your box. What are the responsibilities of a teacher for instruction? What are the responsibilities of the student? How can teachers foster student independence during learning?
