GRADE NINE-TWELVE COMMON CORE GEORGIA PERFORMANCE STANDARDS FOR LITERACY
IN HISTORY/SOCIAL STUDIES, SCIENCE, AND TECHNICAL SUBJECTS
MATCHING LITERACY STANDARDS TO FRAMEWORK TASKS
Below are sample tasks from the content frameworks for each grade level. Read the task and take a moment to consider the activities and skills necessary
for students to produce the desired result. The relevant content standard defined for the task/assessment is listed in the box below. Referring to the attached
CCGPS Literacy Standards for Reading, identify the standard covered by the task. This exercise serves to identify the literacy tasks already embedded in
the existing frameworks, and illustrates the ease with which the literacy standards may be matched and integrated.
GRADE NINE CULINARY ARTS: Review SERVSAFE course book and be able to pass assessment on safety of chilled foods left out or passing through
th
temperature danger to be warmed to service temperatures; 5 edition SERVSAFE course book identifies these foods as TCS foods which means food that
is Time -Temperature Controlled for Safety
GRADE NINE CULINARY STANDARD
CA-ICA-4
GRADE NINE CCGPS LITERACY STANDARDS
GRADE TEN AGRISCIENCE: Preset a Celsius and a Fahrenheit thermometer in the classroom. In pairs, students will read
http://www.energyquest.ca.gov/how_it_works/thermometer.html explaining how thermometers work and calculations for determining Celsius and Fahrenheit
measurements. Have student volunteers read the temperature on the thermometers and explain how the reading are obtained and calcuated.

AG-BAS-7-d
GRADE TEN CCGPS LITERACY STANDARDS
GRADE ELEVEN NURSING: Students will conduct research to discover information about body systems. Students will divide into groups and develop a
report on which body system is the most important. Each group will present and defend their system to the class. At the conclusion of the presentation,
student may vote on which system was the most important.

GRADE TWELVE ENGINEERING: Students will independently read Chapters 15 - 19 on Principles of Design Related to Transportation and create a class
presentation on the parts of a two-stroke engine.

LITERACY STANDARDS FOR READING IN SCIENCE AND TECHNICAL SUBJECTS (RST) GRADE 9-10
Key Ideas and Details
L9-10RST1: Cite specific textual evidence to support analysis of science and technical texts, attending to the precise details of explanations or descriptions.
L9-10RST2: Determine the central ideas or conclusions of a text; trace the text’s explanation or depiction of a complex process, phenomenon, or concept; provide an accurate summary
of the text.
L9-10RST3: Follow precisely a complex multistep procedure when carrying out experiments, taking measurements, or performing technical tasks attending to special cases or exceptions
defined in the text.
Craft and Structure
L9-10RST4: Determine the meaning of symbols, key terms, and other domain-specific words and phrases as they are used in a specific scientific or technical context relevant to grades 9–
10 texts and topics.
L9-10RST5: Analyze the structure of the relationships among concepts in a text, including relationships among key terms (e.g., force, friction, reaction force, energy).
L9-10RST6: Analyze the author’s purpose in providing an explanation, describing a procedure, or discussing an experiment in a text, defining the question the author seeks to address.
Integration of Knowledge and Ideas
L9-10RST7: Translate quantitative or technical information expressed in words in a text into visual form (e.g., a table or chart) and translate information expressed visually or
mathematically (e.g., in an equation) into words.
L9-10RST8: Assess the extent to which the reasoning and evidence in a text support the author’s claim or a recommendation for solving a scientific or technical problem.
L9-10RST9: Compare and contrast findings presented in a text to those from other sources (including their own experiments), noting when the findings support or contradict previous
explanations or accounts.
Range of Reading and Level of Text Complexity
L9-10RST10: By the end of grade 10, read and comprehend science/technical texts in the grades 9–10 text complexity band independently and proficiently.
LITERACY STANDARDS FOR READING IN SCIENCE AND TECHNICAL SUBJECTS (RST) GRADE 11-12
Key Ideas and Details
L11-12RST1: Cite specific textual evidence to support analysis of science and technical texts, attending to important distinctions the author makes and to any gaps or inconsistencies in
the account.
L11-12RST2: Determine the central ideas or conclusions of a text; summarize complex concepts, processes, or information presented in a text by paraphrasing them in simpler but still
accurate terms.
L11-12RST3: Follow precisely a complex multistep procedure when carrying out experiments, taking measurements, or performing technical tasks; analyze the specific results based on
explanations in the text.
Craft and Structure
L11-12RST4: Determine the meaning of symbols, key terms, and other domain-specific words and phrases as they are used in a specific scientific or technical context relevant to grades
11–12 texts and topics
L11-12RST5: Analyze how the text structures information or ideas into categories or hierarchies, demonstrating understanding of the information or ideas.
L11-12RST6: Analyze the author’s purpose in providing an explanation, describing a procedure, or discussing an experiment in a text, identifying important issues that remain
unresolved.
Integration of Knowledge and Ideas
L11-12RST7: Integrate and evaluate multiple sources of information presented in diverse formats and media (e.g., quantitative data, video, multimedia) in order to address a question or
solve a problem.
L11-12RST8: Evaluate the hypotheses, data, analysis, and conclusions in a science or technical text, verifying the data when possible and corroborating or challenging conclusions with
other sources of information.
L11-12RST9: Synthesize information from a range of sources (e.g., texts, experiments, simulations) into a coherent understanding of a process, phenomenon, or concept, resolving
conflicting information when possible.
Range of Reading and Level of Text Complexity
L11-12RST10: By the end of grade 12, read and comprehend science/technical texts in the grades 11–12 text complexity band independently and proficiently
