Exploring Expository Literacy:
Increasing Academic Rigor through Critical Reading and Written Responses for Grades 7-10
March 19th, 2014
9:00 AM - 3:00 PM
CESA 8 Office – Maple Room
In this workshop, participants will receive a packet of materials that can be used in the classroom and explore specific strategies to develop critical reading and written response to expository text including:
• differentiating between narrative and expository text features/structures
• understanding expository text features and structures and their role in comprehension and author’s purpose
• using structured note-taking to distinguish among central ideas, main ideas and supporting details
• utilizing close reading scaffolds to annotate expository text
• differentiating between paraphrasing and summarizing and using explicit instruction techniques to teach both
• using the “Great Short Answer” organizational scaffold to guide short answer, text dependent written responses
• exploring rubrics for assessing text annotations and short answer responses
Workshop Objectives:
Improve teaching instruction and increase expectations for student performance in academic literacy as recommended by Common Core Standards for ELA, including History/Social Studies, Science and Technical Subjects.
