Shift 1: Balancing Informational & Literary Text
Students read a true balance of informational and literary texts.
Shift 2: Knowledge in the Disciplines
Students build knowledge about the world (domains/ content areas) through TEXT rather than the teacher or activities
Shift 3: Staircase of Complexity Students read the central, grade appropriate text around which instruction is centered. Teachers are patient, create more time and space and support in the curriculum for close reading.
Shift 4: Text-based Answers
Students engage in rich and rigorous evidence based conversations about text.
Shift 5: Writing from Sources
Writing emphasizes use of evidence from sources to inform or make an argument.
