THIRD QUARTER LEARNING PRIORITIESEach week integrates writing in response to fiction and nonfiction.This quarter emphasizes comprehensive reading—using skills to read the whole text strategically and then respond to a comprehensive reading task based on the text—or two texts.
When students write about what they read, they can exercise skills comprehensively to comprehend and then respond to the text.
The weeks are organized so that …
Literature Constructed Response: Week 1, students write a constructed response;Teacher identifies areas to improve; students improve reponse;Week 2, students write a constructed response;Teacher identifies areas to improve, student revises the constructed response to make that improvement.In following weeks, students continue to write thoughtfully about reading.
Nonfiction Constructed Response:Week 3, students write a constructed response;Teacher identifies areas to improve; students revise response;Week 4, students write a constructed response and improves in that one area;Teacher identifies areas to improve, student revises the constructed response to make that improvement.In following weeks in science and social science, students continue to construct responses so that they learn about topics and develop reading abiltiies.

Integrated Standards: Standard 1-- Refer to details and examples in a text when explaining what the text says explicitly and when drawing inferences from the text—is applied in responding to questions and tasks based on all other reading standards.
All reading competence development supports progress to standard 10--All the reading competence development is designed to reach standard 10: By the end of the year, read and comprehend literature and informational text in the grades 4–5 text complexity band proficiently, with scaffolding as needed at the high end of the range.
Writing is integrated into reading so that students revisit texts to respond to questions and tasks. Go to this link to see examples of PARCC spring 2015 Question sets, including student constructed responses: https://prc.parcconline.org

5th Grade NONFICTION Constructed Response Checklist
First, figure out the task.Read the directions carefully, then start by making sure you know what you need to do.
I need to figure out ___________________________________________________
I need to explain ____________________________________________________
I will look for ideas and information that I will use to explain __________________
_________________________________________________________
Reading Comprehension
What are the important ideas in each text?What information supports them?
I figured out what the important ideas in each source are. I identified information that supports the ideas in each source. I used those ideas and facts in my response to the task. If the task asked me to combine information, then I chose the
most important information from each source to use. If the task asked me to compare information from different
sources, I identified the ideas and information that are alike. If the task asked me to contrast sources, I identified ideas and
information that are different.
Writing to Explain
I organized my response to stay focused on important ideas.I included enough examples to make my analysis clear.
I organized an explanatory essay that responded to the task. I wrote a clear introduction that previewed the main ideas. I kept focused on responding to the task. I used strategies such as compare/contrast to make the
response clear in a logical structure. I focused each paragraph on one idea. I included relevant details and examples to support the main
idea of each paragraph. I used linking words to connect ideas and parts.. I wrote objectively—I did not use my own opinions but only
stated ideas and examples that were based on the text. I wrote a clear and logical conclusion. I reviewed my response to make sure I had accomplished my
purpose.
ConventionsI kept the sentences clear.
I capitalized the first word in a sentence and any proper noun. I used quotation marks if I included a quote. I spelled most words correctly. I used commas correctly to separate words in a series or a
part of a sentence. I used correct verb tense. I used pronouns correctly. I used parentheses or dashes correctly. I used a variety of sentence patterns.
