Once students understand their key vocabulary for RI.1, they are ready to attack implicit vs. explicit information at level 2 of Webb's Depth of Knowledge (DOK2). I have used this simple activity with my sixth graders to assess their abiity to distinguish between the two types of evidence they will encounter within texts in a T-chart Graphic Organizer. Could be used on a choice board (as I have used) or in literacy centers! Answer Key is included.

Informational Text Choice Board (Entire 9 Week Period Included!) to be used with any type of informational text. I use this for weekly homework assignments, which provides differentiated homework, while encompassing multiple learning styles throughout. Could easily be utilized as a classroom tool as well!

Great Choice Board for student engagement with an in-class movie, focussing on several important elements of literature. I utilized the CCSS to align the activities and response activities in the choice board. This board is in Word format and IS editable...in case one may want to make this board more specific to a certain movie. Smaller boxes within each task may be utlized for teacher check. I have also included Tier 2 and Tier 3 vocabulary to focus on during these activities. I have included

Many site and districts have already deconstructed the CCSS...at least I hope so!!! LOL! Anyways...I went through the standards with a "fine tooth comb" and broke each RL and RI Standard down into 3-5 essential learning targets. There is room to mark the following: D: Developing M: Meeting E: Exceeding This will be a useful tool for Evaluations, such as OTES in Ohio. More importantly, it is a great way for students and their instructor to keep track of progress toward mastery of

Fairly simple way to keep track of students mastery of the 6th grade Reading Literature standards at the different Depths of Kowledge. Keep track of what level they are at on mastery. Typically, I use knowledge and understanding of vocabulary as DOK 1. This is a safe and easy way to keep track of student mastery progress and these "temperature checks" can easily facilitate differentiation! I use them and they totally motivate my 6th graders!!! More to come if I receive some good feedback! Thanks
