  1. Fall 2012 LEP Coordinator’s Meeting September 13, 2012 Thinking about Writing: Publishing Student Work Dr. Julie Joslin ELA Team Lead NC Dept of Public Instruction

  2. Review of the Writing Standards 1-3 • Argument • Informational/Explanatory • Narrative Three Text Types

  3. Examining the Progression of the Writing Standards • Find the document titled: “Common Core State Standards for Writing” • Look at the first writing standard • Using a pen/pencil/highlighter move from grade to grade underlining what is different from the previous grade

  4. What did you observe? • K-2 • 3-5 • 6-8 • 9-12 • Consider: • At what grade do students move from opinion pieces to argument? • What is the biggest difference when comparing 8th to 9-10th? • When are students expected to provide a conclusion?

  6. Reflection • How does this clear progression assist in scaffolding for all learners?

  7. Definitions of the Standards’ Three Text TypesFrom Appendix A In the descriptions look for: • Purpose • Definition • How

  8. Review of the Writing Standards 4 - 10 • Developing and organizing according to task, purpose, and audience • Revising, editing, rewriting to strengthen writing • Using technology to produce, publish, and collaborate

  9. Completing short and long research projects • Gathering, assessing, and integrating information from multiple sources • Drawing evidence from texts to support analysis • Writing routinely for a range of tasks, purposes, and audiences

  10. Three Considerations for Writing Instruction • Strong integration of reading and writing in the standards (Example: Writing Standard 9, Reading Standard 1)

  11. The Common Core State Standards are asking students to “read like a detective and write like an investigative reporter.” David Coleman

  12. Use mentor texts that are “rich and worthy”

  13. Why is text selection important? • In the CCSS, text is the focus of instruction. • From texts, students gain knowledge not only about the world but about how to write, express ideas, and support their ideas with evidence from valid sources.

  14. Writing to Learn – Using writing as a tool for learning not only as a product of understanding! • For exploration (quick research, project notebook) • For thinking (graphic organizers, synthesis papers) • For wondering (annotations, journals)

  15. Writing Standard Six • Anchor Standard: Use technology, including the internet, to produce and publish writing and to interact and collaborate with others.

  16. There are many ways for students to collaborate online • Tikatok (younger students) • Mixbook (middle and high students) • Lulu (ebooks) Video examples: Qwiki, Screencast-o-matic

  17. “The digital tools used during this presentation have been helpful to some educators across the state.  However, due to the rapidly changing digital environment, NCDPI does not represent nor endorse that these tools are the exclusive digital tools for the purposes outlined during this presentation.”

  18. What Can a Small Bird Be? by the Character Education Teen Residency Project Participants

  21. Timeline for project: • ESL/ELA teacher teams will apply by the end of September. All eight regions will be represented. • Teachers will receive online training on the writing standards (Oct – Nov). • Each of the eight regions will be given one trait on which to focus (Dec).

  22. Teachers will select student writers K-12 (Dec). • Writing will be completed by end of February. • Student work will be reviewed. • Student artists will illustrate selected works (March-April). • An e-book will be created (May-June).
