This unit was created after I attended a four day 2012 Common Core Summer Institute. This unit reflects the instructional shifts present in the Common Core.
These shifts include:
Instructional Shifts In ELA
(English Language Arts)
Balancing Information and Literary Text
Building Knowledge in the Disciplines
Staircase of Complexity
Text-Based Answers
Writing From Sources
Academic Vocabulary
The skills addressed in this unit are the following:
First Week procedures for Reading Workshop including:
Interactive Read Aloud
Shared Reading
Independent Reading
Choosing just-right books
Setting Reading Goals
Recording Reading
Talking about books
Reading and Discussion Tasks including:
Asking Questions (text-based)
Predicting/Inferring
Retelling/Summarizing
Visualization
Connections (text-to-self and text-to-text)
Language Tasks:
Introducing vocabulary
Nouns/Verbs
Capitals at the beginning of the sentence, geographic locations, and names
Ending punctuation
Complete sentences
Writing Tasks:
Writing about reading (answering text-based questions and retelling)
Foundational Skills:
Decoding strategies
Fluency work
Authors chosen for this unit:
Mo Willems
Cynthia Rylant (recommended by the Common Core)
Mo Willems Book Titles include:
Knuffle Bunny
Knuffle Bunny Too
Knuffle Bunny Free
Leonardo the Terrible Monster
Cynthia Rylant Book Titles include:
Henry and Mudge First Book of Adventures(recommended)
Henry and Mudge and the Long Weekend
Henry and Mudge and the Bedtime Thumps
Henry and Mudge Get the Cold Shivers
I hope you enjoy this unit and find value in the content. According to the Common Core it is recommended that we take a closer look at text. This may take 2 to 3 days with the same text. This may be a shift in your instruction. However, it allows the focus to go deeper. This unit is written to model this shift.
What is next... you may want to focus your next unit of study on non-fiction text as to ensure that you spend 50% of your time on non-fiction and 50% of your time on fiction. This unit is coming!
This unit was created for 2nd grade, but could be a used with a higher first grade class or a lower 3rd grade class.

Wonderful unit. Very thorough and love that it is aligned to Common Core. Maybe I missed it but what grade level was this written for? Thanks for sharing

Trina R Dralus (TpT Seller)
It was written for 2nd grade, but I think with some modifications someone could do it with 1st or 3rd. Third could go deeper with the text based questions and retelling. First would have to do a lot more oral retelling and have a great deal of modeling (as does 2nd grade at this time of the year). Thank you for your feedback!

Yes,I plan to. I am working on a Nonfiction unit currently as well as a few other things. I am hoping to get them on before school starts (August 14th for me). Thank you for your feedback. That makes me want to work harder. :)

Before I give a rating, I would like for you to fix errors on your essential questions. I found mistakes on pages 15, 30, 38 and 48. This is all I found at this point. Thanks
November 4, 2012
Trina R Dralus (TpT Seller)
Lojuana,
Thank you for taking the time to tell me what to fix rather than give me bad feedback. I have a folktale unit I am working on. I would like to send you a few weeks of it for free for helping me fix this one. Would you be interested? If you are leave me your email address, and I will get it to you. Or email me at tdralus@gmail.com, and I will send it to you from there.
Thanks again!

I would love to have something like this for fourth grade. Would it be hard to adapt this for the upper grades by changing the text?
September 28, 2012
Trina R Dralus (TpT Seller)
I think the shifts represented are easy to adapt, but you will just want to choose much more complex text. The questions should be text based as well. So this unit might be used as a guide for what you might do, but the days spent on foundational skills and language skills are probably far too simplistic for 4th graders. I hope that answered the question.

Are you working on a non-fiction unit for the Common Core? I am very impressed by your Common Core Character Study unit.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Trina R Dralus (TpT Seller)
I am! I had my tonsils out so I have been down a bit. I will try to get it done by the beginning of August. Thank you for your kind words.
