Sample ELA checklist completed

I thought ELA teachers might want a sample of our "first step" in addressing the CCRS in our lessons. I just made up this activity this morning on Superbowl Sunday and plugged it into the lesson plan checklist tool we have on the maineccrs.org site.

Background: This activity would have students exploring a logically written article so the student could work on identifying how we distinguish from opinion to fact. Students would write up their rational about what parts of the article were fact and which fiction. Then students dive into the types of fallacies and take notes on them so they can then identify fallacies in an article on the topic. Students develop a 5 minute oral presentation in which they address the given article.

From here I would work with peers to get some critical review of my ideas and the key shift points I identified. Maybe a peer points out how my stated CCRS does not quite match the products students are creating. Maybe I need two or three CCRS put in on that form? What would this lesson look like fully fleshed out?

I have a template in the works and almost done up that all ELA and Math teachers can use so the lessons all have a standard arrangement to better enable all of us to be able to share and access work. Having a consistent format is helpful in looking for key information within resources shared. Do you have thoughts on this process?
