• I can articulate the goals and purpose of the content leadership networks.

• I can explain the structure and goals of the Literacy Design Collaborative (LDC) and its relationship to implementing the KCAS.

• I can create an LDC teaching task for argumentation that integrates the ELA strands.

• I can articulate the difference between persuasion, opinion, and argument.

• I can set personal goals and make an action plan to advance the vision of 21st century learning.

What is theLiteracy Design Collaborative(LDC)

A framework for implementing the standards. LDC is a structure to allow teachers and students deeper engagement with the standards leading to highly effective teaching and learning.

Just as CASL was the touchstone text for Assessment Literacy, so is LDC the touchstone for Highly Effective Teaching and Learning.

Template TasksLDC template tasks are “shells” of assignments that ask students to read, write, and think about important academic content in science, social studies, English, or another subject.

Teachers fill in those shells, deciding the texts students will read, the writing students will produce, and the content students will engage.

LDC Introduction to Construction 39

Page 40: Welcome! While You Are Waiting:

Template TasksTemplate tasks come with rubrics for scoring students’ work and specifications of the Common Core State Standards the resulting tasks will address.

Some template tasks provide optional additions to the basic assignment, allowing teachers an additional way to vary the level of work students will create. (L2, L3)

LDC Introduction to Construction 40

Page 41: Welcome! While You Are Waiting:

Template Task 2

[Insert essential question] After reading ___________ (literature or informational texts), write an ________ (essay or substitute) that addresses the question and support your position with evidence from the text(s). L2 Be sure to acknowledge competing views. L3 Give examples from past or current events or issues to illustrate and clarify your position.

From Templates Task to Teaching Task

Teachers fill in the template task to create a teaching task, meaning a major student assignment to be completed over two to four weeks.

The content can be science, history, language arts, or another subject.

LDC Introduction to Construction 42

Page 43: Welcome! While You Are Waiting:

Teaching TasksTeachers fill in the prompt, including:

The content of the task

Texts to read

Text students will write, including suggestion of or choice of audience

Whether to use the Level 2 and Level 3 options to make the task more demanding

LDC Introduction to Construction 43
