Text Dependent Questions- Feb. 16

Reflections from the 2015-16 WI Forward Exam were that our students needed more support in answering Text Dependent Questions or answering questions citing text evidence.  

Our goal as a SMART/ Leadership team is to help all staff understand these types of questions and how we can prepare students to think in this deeper, more complex manner.  We want to see what each grade K-5 can do to support this rigorous thinking.

Learning Targets

• I understand what text-dependent analysis is and the criteria for success.
• I have one thing to apply to my Guided Reading or Reading Responses to prepare my students for text- dependent analysis.
