Key Ideas and Details:

CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RL.4.1Refer to details and examples in a text when explaining what the text says explicitly and when drawing inferences from the text.

CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RL.4.2Determine a theme of a story, drama, or poem from details in the text; summarize the text.

CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RL.4.3Describe in depth a character, setting, or event in a story or drama, drawing on specific details in the text (e.g., a character's thoughts, words, or actions).

Reading Informational Text


CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RI.4.1Refer to details and examples in a text when explaining what the text says explicitly and when drawing inferences from the text.

CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RI.4.2Determine the main idea of a text and explain how it is supported by key details; summarize the text.

CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RI.4.3Explain events, procedures, ideas, or concepts in a historical, scientific, or technical text, including what happened and why, based on specific information in the text.

Standards that Lead Stimulus Selection for

each Quarter

What about the Depth of Knowledge?Discuss the goals of each standard listed on the

learning progressions document.Create a text-dependent question using the Delaware question stems on the Learning

Progression document.

The Writing Continuum

• Brief Write – Writing one or more paragraphs

• Revise – Revising one or more paragraphs

• Lang./Vocab – Using language and vocabulary

• Editing – Applying or editing grammar, capitalization, usage, etc..

Three Types of Writing This protocol focuses on the key elements of informative/explanatory writing: • introduction (identifies the topic and provides a focus)• organization (definition, classification, comparison/contrast, etc.),• development (with facts, concrete details, quotations, other information)• transitions (linking ideas)• precise language and domain specific vocabulary‐• conclusion (closure) • Conventions of Standard English. This protocol focuses on the key elements of writing opinions: • introduction (state opinion),• organization• development (support with reasons and details)• linking words/phrases/clauses,• conclusion• conventions of standard English. This protocol focuses on the key elements of writing narratives: • introduction (narrator and/or setting and characters)• organization (event sequence)• development (narrative techniques such as dialogue, pacing, description

reflection, and multiple plot lines)• transitions (to sequence events)• conclusion• conventions of standard English.

Brief Write Rubric ExampleWriting Standard W.1

Target 1aStimulus Text:Read the paragraph and complete the task that follows it. Children should choose their own bedtime. There are things to do, and most have homework. Some people need more sleep, but children like talking to friends. The time to go to bed should be children’s decision when they are tired they go to bedearlier. There are activities to go to, so children learn to be responsible.

Item Prompt:Rewrite the paragraph by organizing it correctly and adding ideas that support the opinion that is given.Scoring Notes:The Response may include, but is not limited to:

gives essential elements of a complete interpretation of the prompt

addresses many aspects of the task and provides sufficient relevant evidence to support development

is focused and organized, consistently addressing the purpose, audience, and task

includes sentences of varied length and structure

Student Response I think children should be allowed to choose their own bedtime. Children need a way to learn how to be responsible. Picking a bedtime is a good way to become more responsible. Children should think about the activities they have to do and how much homework they have when deciding what time to go to bed. Thinking about these things when deciding on a bedtime shows responsibility. Also, some people need more sleep than others, so this is something children can think about when they choose a bedtime. Making good choices helps children to be more responsible.Student ResponseChildren should be allowed to pick a bedtime depending on how much homework and how many activities they have to do. Kids have a lot to do, but they have to learn how to be responsible for themselves. When kids choose their own bedtime, they can decide based on how much sleep they need..Student ResponseI think children should pick a bedtime depending on how much homework they have. When the kids have no homework, they should be able to stay up as late as they want. That way they can talk to their friends and enjoyactivities.Student ResponseI usually go to bed at 9:00, after I watch my favorite shows.

Target 6 Write and Revise Brief Opinion Texts:Write or revise one or more paragraphs demonstrating ability to state opinions about topics or sources: set a context, organize ideas, develop supporting reasons, or provide an appropriate conclusion.Standards: W-1a, W-1b, W-1c, W-8, W-d, W-1DOK 2 Constructed ResponseA disorganized opinion paragraph about choosing a bedtime. To complete this task, students must write and support an opinion, organize supporting reasons, and provide an appropriate conclusion.Task Students are asked to identify the most appropriate supporting

details used within a given text.Item Prompt:Rewrite the paragraph by organizing it correctly and adding ideas that support the opinion that is given.

Children should choose their own bedtime. There are things to do, and most have homework. Some people need more sleep, but children like talking to friends. The time to go to bed should be children’s decision when they are tired they go to bed earlier. There are activities to go to, so children learn to be responsible.

Target 8 Language and Vocabulary Use:Strategically use precise language and vocabulary (including academic words, domain specific vocabulary, and figurative language) and style appropriate to the purpose and audience when revising or composing tests.Standards: W-2d, W-3d, L-3a, L-6DOK 2 Technology Enhanced (adjectives in red for teacher

Grades 5 and 6 – Standards 5, 6, 7, 9Grades 6 and 8 – Standards 7,9

Why do we need our students’ reading paired passages?

Paired passages are any two passages students read that together provide strong similarities and depths of information about a central insight.

What are paired passages?






Reading Informational Text


CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RI.4.1Refer to details and examples in a text when explaining what the text says explicitly and when drawing inferences from the text.

CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RI.4.2Determine the main idea of a text and explain how it is supported by key details; summarize the text.

CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RI.4.3Explain events, procedures, ideas, or concepts in a historical, scientific, or technical text, including what happened and why, based on specific information in the text.

Pairing Passages for Performance Tasks

26

Important Please Read Before Starting Assessment

Quarter Three Preparing for Performance Tasks

The quarter three pre-assessment prepares students for performance tasks. There are many combinations of claims, targets and standards that can be used within a performance task.1

Performance tasks have two parts (Part 1 and Part 2). In quarter three students will complete the tasks highlighted below.

IMPORTANT – NEW Please make copies of the note-taking form for each student

in your class if you choose to use it.

1. Note-Taking: Students take notes as they read passages to gather information about their sources. Students are allowed to use their notes to later write a full composition (essay). Note-taking strategies should be taught as structured lessons throughout the school year in grades K – 6.

A note-taking form is provided for your students to use for this assessment or you may use whatever formats you’ve had past success with. Please have students practice using the note-taking page in this document before the actual assessment if you choose to use it. In first grade the note-taking form can also be used as planning form for writing a full composition. In grades 3 – 6 a more in-depth planning form is included in the assessment.

2. Research: In Part 1 of a performance task students answer constructed response questions written to measure a student’s ability to use research skills. These CR questions are scored using the SBAC Research Rubrics rather thanthe short response rubric used in quarters 1 and 2. The Research Rubrics assesses research skills students need in order to complete a performance task.

Note: During the actual SBAC assessment (grades 3 – 6) you may not be allowed to give students a pre-made note taking form or graphic organizer. Students may have to develop their own as they read.

Student Directions: Your students have directions in their student assessment booklet. They are a shortened version of what the directions will actually look like on the SBAC assessment. Please remind them to read the directions.

1Performance tasks (PT) measure complex assessment targets and demonstrate students' ability to think and reason. Performance tasks produce fully developed writing or speeches. PTs connect to real life applications (such as writing an essay or a speech or producing a specific product). http://www.smarterbalanced.org/sample-items-and-performance-tasks/.

Performance Tasks Have Two PartsThe underlined sections are those scored on SBAC.

Part 1 Part 2

• Read two paired passages.• Take notes while reading (note-taking).• Answer SR and CR research questions about sources

• Plan your essay (brainstorming pre-writing).

• Write, Revise and Edit W.5• Writing a Full Composition or Speech
