ELACC5RL3: Compare and contrast two or more characters, settings, or events in a story or drama, drawing on specific details in the text (e.g., how characters interact).
ELA5R1 The student demonstrates comprehension and shows evidence of a warranted and responsible explanation of a variety of literary and informational texts. For literary texts, the student identifies the characteristics of various genres and produces evidence of reading that: a. Identifies and analyzes the elements of setting, characterization, and conflict in plot. b. Identifies and analyzes the structural elements particular to dramatic literature (e.g., scenes, acts, cast of characters, stage directions) in the plays read, viewed, written, and performed. c. Identifies and analyzes the similarities and differences between a narrative text and its film or play version. d. Relates a literary work to information about its setting (historically or culturally). e. Identifies imagery, figurative language (e.g., personification, metaphor, simile, hyperbole), rhythm, or flow when responding to literature. f. Identifies and analyzes the author’s use of dialogue and description. g. Applies knowledge of the concept that theme refers to the message about life and the world that the author wants us to understand whether implied or stated. h. Responds to and analyzes the effects of sound, figurative language, and graphics in order to uncover meaning in poetry. i. Sound (e.g., alliteration, onomatopoeia, rhyme scheme) ii. Figurative language (e.g., personification, metaphor, simile, hyperbole) iii. Graphics (i.e., capital letters, line length, stanzas). i. Makes judgments and inferences about setting, characters, and events and supports them with elaborating and convincing evidence from the text. j. Identifies similarities and differences between the characters or events and theme in a literary work and the actual experiences in an author’s life. k. Identifies common structures and stylistic elements (e.g., hyperbole, refrain, simile) in traditional literature.

Qualitative aspects of text complexity best measured by an attentive human reader, such as levels of meaning or purpose; structure; language conventionality and clarity; and knowledge demands
Quantitative aspects of text complexity, such as word length or frequency, sentence length, and text cohesion, that are difficult if not impossible for a human reader to evaluate efficiently, especially in long texts, and are thus today typically measured by computer software
Reader and task considerations focus on the inherent complexity of text, reader motivation, knowledge, and experience and the purpose and complexity of the task at hand. This kind of assessment is best made by teachers employing their professional judgment.

Text Complexity Rubric
•Intended to assist educators in evaluating multiple dimensions of a text.
•The rubric addressees the three aspects of text complexity required for consideration in Common Core Appendix B: qualitative, quantitative, and reader/task match.
•Each of these three dimensions includes specific relevant categories, each of which is listed with a short explanation to assist users in making the best possible determination.

WHAT IS INTEGRATED LEARNING?Although the standards are divided into strands for clarity, the
processes of communication are closely connected.Reading comprehension and student writing always require direct
textual evidence for claims, inferences, and analyses. Research and media skills are blended into the standards as a whole.
To be ready for college, workforce training, and life in a technological society, students need the ability to gather, comprehend, evaluate, synthesize, and report on information and ideas, to conduct original research in order to answer questions or to solve problems.
The need to conduct research and to produce and consume text and media is embedded into every aspect of today’s curriculum. Similarly, research and media skills and understandings are embedded throughout the standards rather than treated in a separate section.

Dr. John D. Barge, State School Superintendent“Making Education Work for All Georgians”www.gadoe.org
As learning - and research about learning - evolves, we are beginning to understand that meaningful scholarship is really a whole universe of simultaneous events.
Common Core emphasizes a 21st century classroom that transcends the idea of teaching standards in isolation and embraces a holistic approach where reading, writing, listening, speaking, and language are woven together to engage students with meaningful and relevant lessons.

• Georgia is a governing partner in the PARCC consortium• States working together to develop a common set of K-12
expectations in English and math• Anchored in CCR standards what it takes to be ready for
college and careers• Creating an instructional framework to create a pathway
to college and career readiness by the end of high school, mark students’ progress toward this goal from 3rd grade up, and provide teachers with timely information to inform instruction and provide student support

•Journal writing•Taking notes from text•Mock news reporter•Disaster diary•Reflection
ESSAY ONE: Use evidence from the anchor text to develop a claim about which disaster you believe had the greatest lasting impact (people, land, politics, etc)ESSAY TWO: Using evidence from visual text only (found in shorter text) analyze the impact of the devastation on the daily life of inhabitants (food, medicine, transportation, economy, etc.)ESSAY THREE: Using evidence from shorter texts compare and contrast the geological forces at work in various natural disasters
Research One: How has organized disaster response begun and evolved in modern societyResearch Two: How have natural disasters changed the geographical features of the world
Shadow Poems •Poetry of human courage and survival; original poetry based on examplesImagination It Happened to You: Imagine you survived a natural disaster; describe the experience – how would you react and what would be your first steps?Descriptive Writing•Write a descriptive essay using sensory detail and imagery to narrate the unfolding of an event (e.g., storm volcano, hurricane )
In a word, yes!
