The Gettysburg AddressFour score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.(see handout)

Key Learning

Text Complexity

Close Reading/Text-dependent questions

Academic Vocabulary

Syntax


Text-Dependent Questions...Can only be answered with evidence from the text.

Can be literal (checking for understanding) but must also involve analysis, synthesis, evaluation.

Focus on word, sentence, and paragraph, as well as larger ideas, themes, or events.

Focus on difficult portions of text in order to enhance reading proficiency.

Can also include prompts for writing and discussion questions.


Three Types of Text-Dependent Questions

When writing or reviewing a set of questions, initially consider the following three categories:

Questions that assess themes and central ideas

Questions that assess knowledge of vocabulary

Questions that assess syntax and structure


Non-Examples and Examples

13

In “Casey at the Bat,” Casey strikes out. Describe a time when you failed at something.In “Letter from a Birmingham Jail,” Dr. King discusses nonviolent protest. Discuss, in writing, a time when you wanted to fight against something that you felt was unfair.In “The Gettysburg Address” Lincoln says the nation is dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Why is equality an important value to promote?

What makes Casey’s experiences at bat humorous?

What can you infer from King’s letter about the letter that he received?

“The Gettysburg Address” mentions the year 1776. According to Lincoln’s speech, why is this year significant to the events described in the speech?

Not Text-Dependent Text-Dependent


Which of these Questions are Text-Dependent?

1. Have you ever been to a funeral?2. What important event took place in 1776?3. What impact does starting the sentence with “now” have on

its meaning?4. What does “conceived” mean?5. What is the point of including the phrase “or any nation so

conceived and so dedicated”? What would the sentence mean without it?

6. Why did the North and the South fight the civil war?

Basal and Anthology Alignment Projects

Cooperation of textbook publishers

District teams comprised of literacy, ELL, SWD, and other educators

Examine adopted materials and write text-dependent, CCSS- aligned questions for basal reading selections in grades 3-5 (BAP) and grades 6-12 (AAP)

Focused on evaluating existing questions for alignment and writing good text-dependent questions to sources

Require close reading of the text and preparation for the culminating, text-based discussion or writing task


Read-Aloud Project Student Achievement Partners and The Council of the

Great City Schools launched the Read-Aloud Project (RAP) for the K-2 grade band.

Written by teams of curriculum, English language learning specialists, and Special Education educators.

Text-dependent questions to go with picture books that are above grade level and rich with complex text.

Build knowledge and vocabulary

Kansas wants to keep the tradition of developing processes for actively building teacher learning.

Kansas lead the development of processes to find text complexity.

The Spider and the Flyby Mary Howitt

“Will you walk into my parlour?" said the Spider to the Fly, “'Tis the prettiest little parlour that ever you did spy;

The way into my parlour is up a winding stair, And I've a many curious things to show when you are there.”

“Oh no, no," said the little Fly, "to ask me is in vain,

For who goes up your winding stair can ne'er come down again."
