Thanks so much for your feedback on bot...Hi Sheri,<br /><br />Thanks so much for your feedback on both this post and the flyer I created, and for placing them in your <a href="http://www.livebinders.com/play/play?id=518355" rel="nofollow">livebinder</a>. You are right, text complexity is a main consideration with the Common Core, because it'll impact all other areas of Common Core as well, as evident in the assessment. While I'm more familiar with the PARCC, there are some ideas I'm getting from looking at the <a href="http://www.smarterbalanced.org/sample-items-and-performance-tasks/" rel="nofollow">Smarter Balanced Sample Items and Performance Tasks</a>, and especially what <a href="http://www.p12.nysed.gov/assessment/common-core-sample-questions/" rel="nofollow">New York State</a> created regarding the assessment. While I'm not big on high stakes assessments, there is value in knowing how they will be assessed -- and seeing text complexity is in every single question really stands out to me. <br /><br />Learning with you is fabulous as always. Thanks for <a href="http://askwhatelse.wordpress.com/2012/10/06/ccss-study" rel="nofollow">your posts</a> on the Common Core, in particular the post about <a href="http://askwhatelse.wordpress.com/2012/10/06/ccss-1-and-10/" rel="nofollow">text complexity and text evidence</a> and the post with the fabulous <a href="http://askwhatelse.wordpress.com/2012/10/07/ccss-reading-literature/" rel="nofollow">21st century, student-centered learning task</a>. <br /><br />Yep, love our PLN! <br /><br />Kind regards,<br />Tracy Tracy Watanabehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06720820771623655582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1649011417136906486.post-28061586678974444852012-10-13T20:09:59.838-07:002012-10-13T20:09:59.838-07:00This is such a valuable resource to understand Tex...This is such a valuable resource to understand Text Complexity. I also love the flyer for CCSS that you created for your district. I've included links to this post and the flyer in a livebinder for our staff: http://www.livebinders.com/play/play?id=518355<br /><br />Our state will focus on SmarterBalanced rather than PARCC as our assessment model, but the need to understand text complexity is one of the first strategies teachers need to consider. Thanks for helping me understand how to start the process of designing curricula for text complexity with rigorous assignments that scaffold strategies for student understanding.Sheri Edwardshttp://askwhatelse.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
