2nd Grade Outcomes

Examine Language StandardsUnderstand text types and purposes of the

Writing StandardsConnect writing to readingTurn reading tasks into writing prompts or

assessment questionsUse rubrics to help plan writing instruction

Language Standards

Standards-at-a-Glance Handout

Directions:

1.Read Conventions of Standard English standards 1-3.

2.Read Vocabulary Acquisition and Use standards 4-6.

3.Discuss the implications for teaching #4-6 during both reading and writing instruction.

Examine Language Standards

Big IdeasLanguage = Conventions + Vocabulary

Acquisition and Use

Vocabulary is heavily emphasized and should be woven into both reading and writing instruction.

together.

Debrief Writing Trace

What commonalities BETWEEN writing standards #1-3 did you notice (e.g., “sense of closure” at first grade for all three standards)?

What are the implications for classroom instruction?

Writing Standards 4-10

• Read the remaining writing standards in the “clusters” of 4-6, 7-9, and 10.

riting

Research to Build and

Present Knowledge

Big IdeasWriting has 3 text types and purposes: 1)

opinion, 2) informational/explanatory, and 3) narrative.

Explicit writing skills overlap within standards 1-3.

Writing instruction requires a K-12 “team” approach due to its interdependence.

Connecting Writing to Reading

CCSS – Measuring Grade-Level

Appropriate Text3 Factors:1.Qualitative (content/sophistication)

2.Quantitative (lexile/readability measures)

3.Reader and Task (purpose and complexity of assignment)

Reading Tasks:Connecting Reading to

Writing

Examine Reading Tasks

THINK-PAIR-SHARE

Which of these tasks for your grade-level would could be/best be assessed through a writing task?

TWO-FER!

Big IdeasUse reading standards in connection with a

writing standard.

Appendix B provides an opportunity to look at examples of reading tasks that would best be assessed through a writing task.

Assess both reading and writing—a “two-fer.”

It is like watching a DVD.

Focus StandardsRL 2- Recount stories, including fables and folktales

from diverse cultures, and determine their central message, lesson, or moral

W1- Write opinion pieces in which they introduce the topic or book they are writing about, state an opinion, supply reasons that support the opinion, use linking words (e.g., because, and, also) to connect opinion and provide reasons, and provide a concluding statement or section.

Task Analysis• Summarize the story• Idea of learning lessons (central message)• Finding evidence

– Use of a graphic organizer to cite evidence– What is evidence supports the central

message?– Relevant reasons

• Topic Sentence• Concluding statement or section• Linking words

Table TalkGetting students to write a paragraph from

topic sentence to concluding sentence is a huge accomplishment.

What steps would you as a grade level team need to take in order to achieve this goal?

Lesson PreparationDetermine possible central messages and

list evidence (cite page number) to support the central message for the following selections:

“Ant and the Three Little Figs”

“Come Back, Jack!”

“Story Hour, Starring Megan”

Supporting Student Growth

Students will need to have frequent, formative frequent, formative feedback feedback coupled with opportunities to revise revise and resubmit tasksand resubmit tasks.

Frequent Formative Feedback Loop

The Power of Formative Feedback:

Austin’s Butterfly

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hqh1MRWZjms

Debrief Video• What are significant ideas presented in

this video?

• What implications for instruction exist?

Big IdeasFormative assessment and feedback is critical

for students to make progress as writers and students with transferable skills.

Feedback should be targeted and narrow in scope.

Writing tasks do not have a definitive number of drafts.

Using Rubrics as Instructional Tools

• One way to provide formative feedback is to use common rubrics.

• This can be done with teaching very explicit skills.

• These rubrics can even be used as planning tools for the teacher.

• Two things that I learned about analytic or holistic rubrics are_______ and _______.

• One thing that I learned about analytic or holistic rubrics is _________, but I still have a question about ________.
