August 4–7, 2014The ANSWER Key Routine for Extended Response (Grades 4-12)
Monday, August 4, 2014Participants will learn how to teach a student routine for answering extended response question prompts (i.e., constructed or open response) and how to use extended response writing as a classroom tool to help students learn and remember content. Students can also use the routine for writing extended responses to question prompts for on-demand writing assessments.
Keys to Close Reading (Grades 3-12)
Tuesday, August 5, 2014The Common Core literacy standards emphasize the use of challenging text at all grade levels and for students to apply close reading skills. Close reading is figuring out what a text says by thinking critically about the words and ideas in the text. It is sometimes described as deep reading, reading like a detective, and unpacking or dissecting the text. Most students need explicit instruction for how to read text closely. Teachers provide this instruction by planning and conducting close reading lessons when they model through think aloud and provide guided practice.
