EDC 448 WORKSHOP
Building/Supporting Critical Thinking from Multiple Perspectives
Objectives
Collect Reading notes and Concept Definition MapReview directions for posting Text Set on the wikispace Pass back essays and review Discuss the role of higher level questions/tasks and
how to support/scaffold students through the process of answering them with evidence based reasoning QAR, QtA, Whose perspective is missing? (Critical
Literacy) Considering two sides of an issue (Argumentation
Essays with Claims and Counterclaims) Considering insights gained from a variety of
viewpoints (Different Perspectives for Reading)
Common Core Standards
AS.W.1 - Write arguments to support claims in an analysis of substantive topics or texts, using valid reasoning and relevant and sufficient evidence.
AS.W.4 - Produce clear and coherent writing in which the development, organization, and style are appropriate to task, purpose, and audience.
AS.W.9 - Draw evidence from literary or informational texts to support analysis, reflection, and research.
Tasks: Academic Language & Perspective Taking
Argumentation Essay: Consider and develop claims and counterclaims related to: 1) Students Should Regularly Read/Use
Challenging Texts 2) Using Accessible Texts Doesn’t Sacrifice Rigor
Consider and Develop Multiple Perspectives
About An Issue Should students have to meet a grade
requirement to participate in sports? Should Students Be Paid To Do Well In School?
WHAT IS THE STRUCTURE OF AN ARGUMENTATION ESSAY?
HOW CAN EXPLICIT TEACHING AND A GRAPHIC ORGANIZER
SUPPORT YOUR ABILITY TO WRITE AN ARGUMENTATION ESSAY?
Argumentation Essay vs. Persuasive Essay or
Five Paragraph Explanation Essay
Explicit Teaching: Argumentation Essay Format
STATE YOUR CLAIM Consider Claim 1
Develop Claim 1: Reason A; Reason BConsider Counterclaim 1:
Develop Counterclaim 1: Reason A; Reason B Consider Claim 2
Develop Claim 2: Reason A; Reason BConsider Counterclaim 2:
Develop Counterclaim 2: Reason A; Reason BCome to a conclusion (restate claim and sum up key
evidence that suggests it is the claim best supported by the most reasonable evidence)
State claim: Students should read challenging texts, but teachers can make them accessible
without sacrificing rigor.
Question: Consider Claim (Agree) and develop evidence that supports
Consider Counterclaim (Disagree) and develop evidence that supports
SHOULD students read challenging text on a daily basis?
Students SHOULD read challenging texts on a regular basis• Evidence (Reason A)• Evidence (Reason B)
Students SHOULD NOT read challenging texts on a regular basis• Evidence (Reason A)• Evidence (Reason B)
CAN rigorous texts also be accessible?
Accessible text DOESN’T sacrifice rigor• Evidence (Reason A) – explain what teachers can do • Evidence (Reason B) - explain what teachers can do
Accessible text DOES sacrifice rigor• Evidence (Reason A)• Evidence (Reason B)
Conclusion: Restate your claim and sum up key ideas to reinforce your claim with the most reasonable evidence
Digital Scaffolding Tool for Evaluating and Synthesizing Multiple Online Texts
Reasoning with Evidence from the Text:
Turn and Talk
What can teachers DO to make sure that accessible text DOESN’T sacrifice rigor? Create text sets that pair more rigorous
texts with less rigorous texts But what can you do while still using the
same rigorous text?? 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
ACTIVITY 2Considering Different Perspectives
Linking Instruction in Academic Vocabulary and Questioning
Introduce target words through brief passages outlining real-world controversies and weekly activities (define, word problems, debates, science experiments, writing)
Should secret wiretapping by the government be legal? Graphic organizers, differentiated discussion
prompts, higher level questions & evidence based reasoning
The Value of Hearing Multiple Perspectives
The Role of Classroom Talk in Teaching for Understanding
Promoting classroom discussion and talk that have certain features can result in particular kinds of academic benefits, such as improved word knowledge
Rich teacher-student discussion also supports the development of students’ reasoning and supports their abilities to express their reasoning.
How can we differentiate our instruction while using academic language in talk and/or writing? See example in handout

Different Perspectives
Each person is assigned a different role
Identify needs and concerns from each perspective
Re-read, looking for specific text statements and note reactions from that perspective.
Discuss and compose a summary position statement from each perspective.

Reflections – Quick Write
How are these two scaffolds (argumentation writing graph and different perspectives organizer) useful for building skills in: reading and writing academic language
perspective taking? Might they be useful in your own lesson plan? In your discipline?
