+NEW ELA STANDARDS
Goal- Embrace the shifts!
The first shift was to a focus on more non-fiction text.
The second was to include more complex texts.
The third shift was to focus on text-dependent questions.

+Create Vertical Alignment
Units were made in consecutive grades
Focus: build on skills from previous grades.
The difficulty of each skill increased by using more complex-text.
Created common graphic organizers, rubrics, and materials.

+Working Vertically cont.
Collaborating- not alone
Bounce ideas off of someone who knows what your unit is about
Think and discuss vertical connections
Share resources, graphic organizers, rubrics, and other materials
Would not be able to co-teach

+In the words of Maya Angelou…
“When I look back, I am so impressed again with the life-giving power of literature. If I were a young person today, trying to gain a sense of myself in the world, I would do that again by reading, just as I did when I was young.”
