“Best Practice” requires student to regularly engage with challenging texts and requires students to substantiate their answers using evidence taken from the text/passage. “The implementation of Common Core Standards is a full-school endeavor, not just a project for math and ELA teachers. The Common Core State Standards, in addition to the English Language Arts (ELA) Standards, includes Literacy (reading and writing) standards for the “specialized disciplines” of history, social studies, science, and technical subjects for grades 6-12. Teachers of all grades and subjects can integrate math and literacy skills and activities into their disciplines in order to harness the power of the Common Core to improve student learning across the board.” Source: TNCore To support literacy and language learning across the content areas and support deeper knowledge building in the content area, throughout this curriculum map, you will see high-quality texts from both the textbook(s) and external/supplemental texts to ensure students are reading appropriately complex, worthwhile material. These texts have been evaluated by district staff to ensure that they meet criteria for text complexity--Quantitative, Qualitative, and Reader & Task Factors. Lexile Levels are listed on the Curriculum Maps, and additional information is cited, where available. Note: What is a DBQ/TDQ? Document-Based Questions (DBQs) and Text-Dependent Questions (TDQs) are for all students, from elementary school through high school. They are a type of authentic assessment and a way for students to interact with historical records and information. DBQS/TDQs, may not only be in the form of an actual question, but rather in the form of tasks or activities that requires students to read, analyze, gather information, complete scaffolding responses, assimilate or synthesize information from the listed resources, text or documents. Throughout this map, the suggested activities are designed to help students gain strength in content knowledge and to provide opportunities at high levels of thinking as they develop life skills.
