Comparing Common Core Middle School Reading with NC Essential Standards: Information and Technology
The first thing I notice when I compare the standard for technology and reading is the use of many words such as; evaluate, analyze, and determine. These key words and skills for students are found in both sets of standards.
Students will use their skills from reading to be able to research. (6.RP.1 and 8.RP.1 ) Their reading skills will also be used to evaluate information. (7.SI.1) Commone Core Reading Inforamtional Text grade 6 Key Ideas and Details, requires students to evaluate what they read and pick out key information just as ITES 7.SI.1 states that students need to be able to evaluate resources. Both sets of standard emphasize point of view in text.
Under the Intergration of Knowledge and Ideas in Reading Standards Information Text #7, students need to be able to understand text in different media or formats. This standard works well with all the ITES that deal with SI: Sources of Information. This is also true for Literature standard #7 where students need to be able to compare and contrast what they have read in literature to an audio or video verison.
Since many of the standards in English/Langauage Arts and Information and Technology go together well, this will be able to help teachers plan lessons and allow students to be success in both areas.
Cherie,
ReplyDeleteI like the way that you zeroed in on a couple of the objectives. I like the way we can see the different levels of the revised Bloom's taxonomy appearing in a parallel way across different curricular areas.
Maybe we can share some ideas back and forth as we become more comfortable with the new standards.
Thanks for sharing!

I totally agree. I noticed this as I read your entry as well.
DeleteHi Cherie,
ReplyDeleteChoosing the verbs from the Revised Bloom's Taxonomy was an excellent way to show the connection between ITES and the Grade 6 reading standards. Along with the classroom teacher, we teacher librarians, need to model higher order thinking for students and assist teachers in creating richer lessons for their students. Thanks for sharing your post.

Cherie,
ReplyDeleteI, too, took note of the verbs selected for the curricula and was reminded of Bloom's Taxonomy. I think you were very articulate in expressing yourself. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

Cherie,
ReplyDeleteI appreciate your thoroughness in citing the correlations between the CC and ITES. I agree with you that there are many connections. I wonder, then, why have two separate sets of standards? Since the CC is essentially across curricula, don't you think we could have added the ethics component to the CC and done away with a second set?
