Many teachers are worried they'll have to scratch poems from their syllabi under the common standards, but teacher Ben Curran says all that's needed is a shift in the way poetry is read and discussed.

Mary Reilley Clark's insight:
A "genre of the day" discussion. Read what you want them to write. Just two of the great ideas here!

Excellent examples of how to explain the Common Core to parents!

"The lesson? Don’t ‘hide’ skills in the text. Model it and explain it as a skill andthen teach students to apply it to text. This changes the accessibility and lets all students have access to the skill set regardless of their reading capabilities. Scaffold in the text and gradually increase the complexity then."
Mary Reilley Clark's insight:
This would work for middle school as well. Modeling is key!

Mary Reilley Clark's insight:
Preliminary test blueprints from Smarter Balanced for ELA and math summative assessments. There's a lot to explore here: rubrics, test blueprints, etc. Read the appendices for examples of text used for assessment: the Dalai Lama and Marcus Aurelius, not insulation manuals!

Learn about the SIFT Method of analyzing literature. Middle School English teachers have found this a valuable tool to help students analyze literature and poems. SIFT stands for Symbolism, Imagery, Figurative Language, Tone and Theme.

Mary Reilley Clark's insight:
Interesting insight on word choice in reading and writing. Some excellent examples of books to teach and model word choice, including one of my all-time favorites, Amos and Boris by William Steig.

Mary Reilley Clark's insight:
The nonfiction and literature book lists alone should help reduce fears of students reading insulation manuals! I hope Scholastic will continue to add to the list, as the titles currently on it are great examples of grade level appropriate books that meet CCSS guidelines.
Some of the other links are to Scholastic products, but it's worth looking around.
