 There have been minor additions to the current
passages to allow for more in-depth questions.
 Some questions have been reworded to allow for
close reading and text dependent responses.
 The Assessment Map includes the grade specific
CCSS and sample instructional considerations.

Key Ideas and Details
1. Read closely to determine what the text says
explicitly and to make logical inferences from it; cite
specific textual evidence when writing or speaking to
support conclusions drawn from the text.
2. Determine central ideas or themes of a text and
analyze their development; summarize the key
supporting details and ideas.
3. Analyze how and why individuals, events, and ideas
develop and interact over the course of a text.
Craft and Structure
4. Interpret words and phrases as they are used in a
text, including determining technical, connotative,
and figurative meanings, and analyze how specific
word choices shape meaning or tone.
5. Analyze the structure of texts, including how specific
sentences, paragraphs, and larger portions of the text
(e.g., a section, chapter, scene, or stanza) relate to
each other and the whole.
6. Assess how point of view or purpose shapes the
content and style of a text.
Integration of Knowledge and Ideas
7. Integrate and evaluate content presented in diverse
media and formats, including visually and
quantitatively, as well as in words.1
8. Delineate and evaluate the argument and specific
claims in a text, including the validity of the
reasoning as well as the relevance and sufficiency of
the evidence.
9. Analyze how two or more texts address similar
themes or topics in order to build knowledge or to
compare the approaches the authors take.

informational texts independently and proficiently.

Instructional Shifts Called for by the Common Core
BUILDING
KNOWLEDGE
THROUGH CONTENTRICH NON-FICTION
• 50% Informational Text /50% Literary Texts
• Students read domain-specific texts independently to
acquire content knowledge
READING, WRITING,
AND SPEAKING
GROUNDED IN
EVIDENCE FROM THE
TEXT
• Teachers facilitate rich and rigorous conversations
that stay deeply connected to the text
• Students make evidentiary arguments both in
conversation and writing
• Students respond in writing to texts they have read using
evidence to inform or make an argument
REGULAR PRACTICE
WITH COMPLEX TEXT
• Staircase of text complexity over grade levels
• Teachers create more time for close and careful
reading of complex texts with scaffolding as
needed
• Focus on building general academic vocabulary that
students will encounter across the disciplines
How does this fit with the shifts?
Reflection
 When was the last time you were
challenged by a text?
 What did you do to handle or
manage working within your
frustration?
What is Close Reading?
 Close, analytic reading stresses engaging with text of
sufficient complexity directly and examining its meaning
thoroughly and methodically, encouraging students to read
and reread deliberately. Directing student attention on the
text itself empowers students to understand the central ideas
and key supporting details. It also enables students to
reflect on the meanings of individual words and sentences;
the order in which sentences unfold; and the development of
ideas over the course of the text, which ultimately leads
students to arrive at an understanding of the text as a whole.
Close, analytic reading entails the careful gathering of
observations about a text and careful consideration about
what those observations taken together add up to –from the
smallest linguistic matters to larger issues of overall PARCC
understanding and judgment.

 Close Reading and the Common Core State
Standards
How would you describe
Close reading ? How would
you define it?
Is close reading part of
addressing the Common
Core State Standards?
Example of Elevator Conversation
A close reading is a careful and
purposeful reading and rereading
of a text. It’s an encounter with the
text where students really focus on
what the author had to say, what
the author’s purpose was, what the
words mean, and what the
structure of the text tells us.
Close reading requires that
students actually think and
understand what they are reading.
Read Closely to…
 Engage with a text directly
 Learn about language and rhetorical techniques
 Examine its meaning thoroughly and methodically
 Use texts of grade-level appropriate complexity
 Explore a specific theme or pattern within a text
 Focus reading on the particular words, phrases,
sentences, and paragraphs of the author
 Read and re-read deliberately

Listen to Invictus, a short poem written by
English poet William Ernest Henley in
1875.
