Common Core: Six Fundamental Shifts in ELA Curriculum Design « Critical Thinking « Critical Thinking Works | 6-Traits Resources | Scoop.it
Within these Common Core standards are six fundamental shifts that all educators (not just English teachers!) need to understand.

  2. Build Background Knowledge
  3. Provide a "Staircase of Complexity"
  4. Provide text-based evidence
  5. Argumentative Writing
  6. Use increasingly complex text

Excerpt From My Book On Teaching English Language Learners | Larry Ferlazzo’s Websites of the Day… | 6-Traits Resources | Scoop.it

Written by an award-winning practitioner, English Language Learners: Teaching Strategies that Work offers educators a five-step methodology for teaching this burgeoning population. Rather than viewing these students through the typical lens of “deficits” they might have, the process helps educators recognize and use the assets ELLs bring to the classroom.

Poetry for ELL Learners (Poetry for all)

Writing is a tool for self discovery, not just workplace literacy.


A poem from a young writer is shared and discussed. It's a powerful piece of writing from a young heart in pain.

Listen and Write

Listen and Write | 6-Traits Resources | Scoop.it

Listen-and-write.com is a simple but very useful site for learners of English. It’s dictation practice: you listen to a text and then you have to write down every word. Your work is checked in real time – you have to spell each word correctly. If you make a mistake, you can’t go on but have to try again until you get it right. You can stop and play the text again as many times as you like. There are a lot of different levels of difficulty, so everybody will find suitable texts. If you register on the site you can record your results and check your progress too.
